The two methods you describe (# and """<stuff>""") are the two 
mechanical ways of commenting out large blocks of code in python. In 
practice, this is a bit separate from how one should approach it within 
one's editor. Each sufficiently advanced editor should have a mechanism 
to comment/uncomment many lines for you.

For instance, in pycharm one can use CTRL+SHIFT+/ to comment out a block 
of code (or navigate to some menu). In vim, one can use vim-commentary 
or enter block mode with CTRL-v, highlight the lines you want to be 
commented, and then I# to comment them. (I'm sure other nice editors out 
there have this functionality too, but I only use these).

Good luck!
