Dear all,
is there a way in Python to comment out blocks of code without putting a 
# in front of each line? Somethings like C's

/*
    block of code here is commented out
*/
if False:
 (indented) block of code here is commented out
I've no idea how efficient it is compared to triple-quoted strings
or line by line comments. But (at least with the editors I use) it
does retain the syntax highlighting, which I quite like YMMV.
BTW for C and C++:
#if 0
block of code here is commented out
/* with embeded comments ! */
#endif
Rob.
Actually, it's infinitly [sp?] more defficient
(contrary of efficient?) than triple-quoted strings
or line-by-line comments, because those two never
make it to execution stage, because they're dropped
by the compiler. :-)
