[Tutor] Comments

[Kevin Altis]

There are a few ways. You could comment out every line

#    code
#    ...
#    won't run

comment out the block with triple quotes
    """
    code
    ...
    won't run
    """

or you could just indent the whole block and stick a test in front so it
won't be executed
    if 0:
        code
        ...
        won't run

The last one is probably best if what you really want is something like

    if DEBUG:
        print ...

where you define DEBUG as 1 or 0 at the top of the module.
