While that's technically true, you can use bare strings as de facto
comments. The compiler drops any bare strings it sees, so one can nest
pseudo-comments like this:
do_this()
"""
do_that()
do_something() # Make the widget work correctly.
'''
for x in range(5):
do_something_else()
'''
do_something_different()
"""
In the above, everything except do_this() is commented out by being
turned into a string.
