What is the proper indentation for Python multiline strings within a function?

    def method:
        string = """line one
line two
line three"""

or

    def method:
        string = """line one
        line two
        line three"""

or something else?

It looks kind of weird to have the string hanging outside the function in the first example.

Thanks.
