I use # FIXME for this purpose or /* FIXME */ in C etc. I have an emacs macro which shows it up in bright red / yellow text so it is easy to see and the company has a system which makes a web page with a list of all the FIXMEs on. FIXME is easy to grep for, language neutral and a lot of people use something similar (eg XXX or TODO). > 2. The HALT comment: You can so this with triple quotes. ''' and ''' (if you normally use """ """ for docstrings) Python just ignores strings that lie around. -- Nick Craig-Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
