None of those methods worked. The first one (\r\n) returns an error and I can't add spaces at the beginning of lines. What I'm trying to do is to create a script that generates Python code. I would like to be able to leave empty lines to separate bits of code. But Python is very strict with space indenting lines.
Shouldn't the \n\n\n work? Is it a bug? -

As far as I know, \r is a valid escape sequence for Python and other programming languages.
\r\n = CR+LF
On a typewriter, LF would move the line down, and CR would move the cursor position back to the left. -

Well, I know that those are supposed to be carriage return + linefeed. But I'm generating the string in COFFEE. When I use that string as a Python script, all the \n are treated as one

Why not put a comment marker(#) where you want a blank line? It's not quite whitespace, but it's almost as good.
println("This is the first line\n#\n#\nAnd this should be three lines down"); -

simply put a space in between them:

The problem with adding spaces is that Python is very picky with spaces at the beginning of lines. Indentation define code blocks. I guess I will have to use comments.
But why can't I set multiple newlines without adding a character to each line?Rui Batista

Oh I haven´t seen that you want to output python code. haven´t used python yet so I think I cannot be of much help but isn´t python intendation tabbed and not spaced?

Ok, then, how about an invisible tab?
" \n"
If that doesn't work, then try writing your escape sequences in hex form, "\x0a". -

Well, the "\n " works, kind of... however, I read somewhere that Python prefers indentation based on spaces instead of tabs.

println should only be used to print a line into the console. If you want to print several lines you have to call println for each line.
