Not really. Unless it is the first string in the block (class, function, module), it won't be assigned to anything, and will be immediately garbage-collected. It may consume space in the pyc file, I'm not sure. Of course, I don't think anyone would advocate leaving such things in production code where the memory use would be an issue anyway. The whole point of block-commenting code out is to temporarily "delete" it without having to use your version control system to get it back. You only do that when you have strong feeling you're going to need to put it back in. -- Terry Hancock ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Anansi Spaceworks http://www.AnansiSpaceworks.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
