Question regarding commenting code

[Andrew Gould]

When adding comments to scripts, can I insert lines of comments inside a
loop block?  For example:

for n in a_list:
# separate values using spaces as delimiters
	a_line = string.split(n)
# get the first value
	a_value = a_line[0]
# print the first value
	print a_value


Thanks,

Andrew
