Tomorrow is block comment day. I want them to nest. I think the reason that they don't routinely nest is that it's a lot of trouble to code. Two questions:
1) Given a start and end location (line position and char index) in an array of lines of text, how do you Pythonly extract the whole block comment? (Goal: not to have Bruno accusing me - correctly - of writing C in Python.) 2) My tokenizer has a bunch of module-level constants including ones that define block comment starts/ends. Suppose I comment that code out. This is the situation: /* start of block comment ... BLOCK_COMMENT_END_CHARS = '*/' ... end of block comment */ Is this the reason for """? (If this is a good test of tokenizer smarts, cpp and javac flunked.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
