You mean to detect the indentation of the commented-out code?  That might be
hard, given you might have a comment like any of the following:  "sharp",
"sharp space", "sharp sharp", "sharp sharp space".  I didn't realize this
would be such an involved feature....

If it's pretty much harmless and all it acts as is a seperator or an "end of
definition" marker, like so:

class ztApp ( wxApp ):
   def OnInit ( self, etc.. ):
      print "init..."
      (...)
      return true
      ''
''
