First, consider that as soon as you have multi-line comments, someone is going to request nested multi-line comments. (In other words, the compiler should check that the embedded comment is still correct.) That rapidly leads to madness. Second, multi-line comments aren't really necessary; as someone in the thread commented, a decent editor or IDE will allow adding or removing comments from a block of code easily. Python's philosophy is to only add features when there is a use case that will improve the language significantly, and commenting out a block of code for testing isn't it. (It's also not the world's best practice, but that's another subject.) John Roth > > Thanks, > Elliot > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
