I do too. As you've found, the only reason is because it is, and it is too late to change (it was even too late back in 1999 when it was considered by Guido). I guess the most popular case-insensitive language nowadays is visual basic (and VB.NET). > Also, why aren't there > multiline comments? Would adding them cause a problem of some sort? Again, just because there aren't and never were. There is no technical reason (like for example a parsing conflict) why they wouldn't work in python. That's why most python editors have added a comment section command that prepends # to consecutive lines for you. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
