Greetings, I am currently trying to learn Python through the excellent "Learning Python" book. I wrote my first non-trivial program, which began with several comment lines. One of the comment lines began with '#hash'. IDLE doesn't colorize it as a comment line but instead colors the word 'hash' in purple as if it were a key word. Wierd. The behavior seems easy to trigger: Just open up a new window in IDLE and enter these two lines:
#This is a test #hash should still be a comment line Then, after saving, the second line is not colored as a comment line though the first is. Is this a bug, or do comment lines which begin with #hash have some special meaning? My program ran fine, so it seems that the interpreter itself is ignoring the line. -John Coleman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
