title: Output Multi-line strings with Python Flask or other framework
body: <p>I am trying to take Redhat kickstart files and modify them in python before using them in a server setup.  My app uses python to curl the original kickstart file from my Redhat Satellite server then I'm doing a string replace on certain values in the kickstart file.  When I curl the file in python it comes back as a multi-line string, which is what I need in order for redhat kickstart to interpret the file correctly.  But when I return the string variable through one of these frameworks (web2py, bottle, flask) something is happening and it is not returning it as a multi-line string, I need it to preserve the exact format of the original file besides the areas I change.  I don't want to put my kickstart files in templates because I manage them through satellite, if I curl the file from satellite then it picks up any modifications without needing to go into the template ever time.  Then in a template or something I either return the string without a template or in a template file I only pass 1 variable to the template as the entire kickstart file.</p>
  
  <pre><code>@route('/kickstart/&lt;name&gt;')
  def kickstart(name):
  
      ks = vula.kickstarter.kickstart.Kickstarter()
      ks_file = ks.getKickstartFile()
  
      return pystache.render('{{kickstart}}', {'kickstart': ks_file})
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is the method in my vula package.  It returns the file exactly the way I need it. But again something is happening between this and returning this value through the framework.</p>
  
  <pre><code>def getKickstartFile(self):
  
      response = urllib2.urlopen('https://my-satellite-server/core-kickstarter')
      ks_file = response.read()
  
      return ks_file
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I started off using Bottle as a framework but I found a statement that says they are not capable of returning multi-line strings, so scratch that.  I moved over to Flask but currently Flask is doing the same thing.  I am still learning python and possibly I'm doing something wrong, but I need any help possible to get this working correctly.  I would like to output a multi-line string.  I understand that you use either </p>
  
  <pre><code>""" or '''
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>for multi-line strings, but even after you do that and send it through a framework it will still print to the screen as one continuous line.  What am I doing wrong?  As a vary last resort I will be forced to put the kickstart files into templates if I cannot output multi-line strings.</p>
