There are usually other ways to do things. For instance, you can
define a function to either do something or do nothing:
if debug_mode:
debug_print = print
else:
debug_print = lambda: None
debug_print("This won't be shown unless we're in debug mode!")
But as Dave says, you could write a preprocessor if you need one.
