One can't comment out code that contains multiline strings.  Especially
nested comment out does not work.

Why not Ctrl+D (comment) and Ctrl+Shift+D (uncomment)?

The Zeus for Windows IDE has just such a feature:

   http://www.zeusedit.com/python.html

To do this in Zeus you basically mark the lines of text
that need commenting then use the Macros, Add Comment
Block menu to comment the lines selected.

Then to remove the comments you use the Macros, Remove
Comment Block menu.

TP will correctly read and write UTF-8 files if they use only the 
characters available in cp1252. So there is a little Unicode support but 
it breaks down pretty quickly with, e.g. Chinese or even Polish.

Sadly, I don't. TP claims Unicode support, but I'm not sure what they

I also use TextPad - 4.7.3. I have never thought to comment a block of
code, but this thread prompted me to see if it is possible. As far as I
can see, you can do it like this -

Menu > Configure > Block Select Mode - Ctrl+Q,B

Select a block, one column wide, using mouse or keyboard.

Menu > Edit > Fill Block (brings up dialog box)
Fill character:   #
Format:  Left align
Fill mode:   Replace
OK

Done.

To uncomment, as above but set Fill character to a space.

It feels a bit fiddly, but I reckon if you use it a few times it will
become quite smooth.

I use TextPad all the time, and while it is true that the feature is not 
built in, it's misleading to say it doesn't have it. It is implemented by 
means of a macro definition. I assign a key to a 'comment' macro (basically 
replacing regex ^ with '# ' for the selected text) to do this. And of 
course I have a reciprocal 'uncomment' macro as well.

Re: how to comment lot of lines in python

2006-03-31 Thread Dave Mandelin
I often use

if 0:
bunch of lines of code

That way, it's very easy to reenable the code, or to add an else, etc.
I can even put things like 'if 0 and USE_FOO_FEATURE' to document what
is being commented out. It's much more flexible than commenting out.

The official rule is that if *any* string is the first line of a 
function/etc, it is considered a docstring. It's just standard 
convention to use the triple quotes for docstrings. As you mentioned, 
you can use triple quotes for any string; likewise, you can use standard 
quotes ( ' or " ) for docstrings as well.

yep fogotten that triple quotted strings are considered as docstring
only if they are the first lines of the module/fonction/class/method

docstrings are a bit of a magical construct.  Not all strings in a
function are docstrings.

>>> def foo():
... "real docstring"

Hi,

Maybe this sounds simplier than regexp and so, just use the """ marker like
this :

"""
this
would be
commented
during
execution
"""

In Vim, you can map a key to do the following:

:s/^/#

to comment the highlighted lines, and

:s/^#

to  uncomment them.  To map them, you can use

:vnoremap  :s/^/#
:vnoremap  :s/#

(those are literal "less-than, ["eff, [4 | 5]" | "see, 
are"], greater-than" characters)

Then, pressing  in visual mode will comment the selected 
lines, and pressing  will uncomment any selected lines 
that are commented.

The nice thing about vim's method of doing this, is that you 
can combine it with grepping.  If you want to comment out 
every line containing a regexp, you can do

:g/regexp/s/^/#

Or, if you want to comment out from "regexp_1" to the 
following line containing "regexp_2", you can use

:g/regexp_1/.,/regexp2/s/^/#

All sorts of handy tricks.

There are python plugins that I'm sure offer such abilities 
built-in.  There are likely ways to do this in other editors 
too.  I just happen to be a vim sorta guy.
