I think I remember, early in my learning of Python, coming across

No idea, but it would be nice to have some multiline comment syntax
(other than # at the beginning of each line). Particularly one that can
be nested.
Well, there's always "if 0"/"if False", but that requires
screwing with the indentation levels. Granted, any competent
text editor will allow you to easily shift code indentation (I
know Vim does, and am pretty sure Emacs will let you do the
same...YMMV with other editors).
But yes, there have been times that a multi-line commenting that
doesn't touch your indentation would be nice, and I confess to
using triple-quotes to do that (opting for """ or ''' based on
the type of triple-quotes found in the code). However, I usually
limit this for debugging purposes and they usually get pruned or
uncommented for production code.
