block comments

[Pete Shinners]

as i get working with python more i start to miss the
block commenting i had in C/C++

i'm just doublechecking.. is there a block comment
symbol in python? i'd like to commentout a large
chunk of code with a simple start/end comment.

thinking about it, i suppose i could use the triple
quotes to simply turn a large chunk of code into a
string. is there a better way?

should python have block comments? (py3k) and if it
does there must be an answer to the eternal question...
Are the block comments nestable?
