Short answer:  No.

Long answer:

Use the triple-quoted string; e.g.,

  def add(x, y):
    """Return the sum of x and y."""

    """
    Note:  The first string in a method is considered the docstring.
    This here
    is effectively
    a multi-line
    comment.
    Fancy, neh?
    """
    return x + y
