comment out more than 1 line at once?

[Riko Wichmann]

I'm using emacs (with python-mode) to do most of my editing. also tried 
IDLE from python already, which is nice but an old dog doesn't like to 
learn new tricks :)

Maybe I just don't know to comment out whole blocks using editor 
commands. Probably the trick Marc mentions in the following post will do 
the job.

I use it to test pieces of a modules which usually is imported from 
another. For testing different parts, I usually have different __main__ 
sections in the file ....

Cheers,

	Riko
