That's only meaningful in languages with begin-comment AND end-comment delimiters. Python has only begin-comment. Effectively, you CAN nest comments in Python: cool = 17 # The following section of code has been commented out. # # call_function( cool ) # # # This would be neater if I had a real-life example. # # As it is, it looks silly. # # print "New result", cool print "All done" -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
