Re: Python
Any decent programming editor will have a facility for selecting a group of lines and adding/removing the appropriate commenting characters. (If your editor doesn't have that, then by definition it's not decent. :-) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman3//lists/python-list.python.org

Not much fun in THAT !!! :-) Me, I use 'nano' as much as possible. Larger, complex, programs ... sometimes I have to use IDLE or Geany because they can make guide-lines showing indentation levels. Once that's fixed, back to 'nano' :-) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman3//lists/python-list.python.org
