Like in C we comment like
/*
Bunch of lines of code
*/
Should we use docstring """ """
Or there is something else too ??
Every help is appreciated.
Thanks

Out of curiousity, is there a modern editor which *doesn't* allow you
to comment/uncomment a selected bunch of lines of code?

TextPad is my editor of choice but it doesn't have this feature.

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.

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.

Thank you! I don't suppose you have any tricks to make it work with
UTF-8 data outside the cp1252 character set, do you?

Sadly, I don't. TP claims Unicode support, but I'm not sure what they
mean; it does seem to be restricted to cp1252.

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.

> You should use a decent editor that could automatically comment/uncomment code upon your request.
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.

What's wrong with using three sets of double-quotes? I do it with kwrite
and it works like a charm.

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)?

In analysing a very big application (pysol) made of almost
100 sources, I had the need to remove comments.
Removing the comments which take all the line is straightforward...
Instead for the embedded comments I used the tokenize module.
To my surprise the analysed output is different from the input
(the last tuple element should exactly replicate the input line)
The error comes out in correspondance of a triple string.

Does anyone else think VB should support the // prefix for comments? I keep
using it by accident, because so many other languages use it (unlike the
single quote, which is I believe unique to VB).
If you think VB would be improved by this change, please vote on my
suggestion here:

Hi all,
I've been toying with python for about two years now. Not every day,
just when I encounter something in my job (sysadmin) repetitively dull.
The amazing thing is that like any other language (natural or not)
learning it more gives you power to express your thoughts better and
create something from nothing, for me this is something I can only
compare to freedom.
However since I'm learning more of python I've struggled with

Had a thought that's grown on me. No idea if it's original or not- too
inexperienced in programming- but I guess there's no harm floating it
out there.
Python wins big on readability, and there's no doubt that context-
dependent text formatting in IDEs (keywords, strings, comments etc) is
a massive help too, therefore benefitting development and maintenance.
This idea is in a similar vein, especially for when scripts grow
large.

Hi, I ran into a funny thing when I played with the python parser, to
build a python call graph for learning...
When I have a (special) python program, that runs without any error it
gives an error, when I try to parse it parser.suite. The error is,
when my program has a comment on the last line after an indented
block. Note that there no newline behind "# comment". With a newline
everything is fine.

Afternoon all. I was just wondering about this point - I have
(generally) used // for commenting a single line in C, but from
looking at code other people have written it seems many use /* */
(which I only use if my comment will be over multiple lines) - does
one way have any advantages over the other, or is the style exactly
that, a question of style?
Cheers,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
