/* */ also allows for some truly spectacularly bad coding practices. Not long ago, I ran into some real-life code where a previous developer had commented out about 50 lines of C++ code by just putting a /* at the top and a */ at the bottom. I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out how the code worked until I noticed what he had done. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
