Mid-line comment in Python?
PythonSyntaxCommentsPython Problem Overview
I'm wondering if there is any way to comment out part of a line, like you can do in c++ with /*this*/. The only comments I know about are # this which always goes to the end of the line and the """these""" ones, which do not work mid-line.
Example use-case: using subprocess and need to temporarily comment out an argument -p 0 from the list:
['../some/guy', '-m', '10', '-p', '0', '-n', '100', '-f', '/dev/stdout']
It would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut to comment out a selection, at the moment I just copy the whole line as below
#['../some/guy', '-m', '10', '-p', '0', '-n', '100', '-f', '/dev/stdout']
['../some/guy', '-m', '10', '-n', '100', '-f', '/dev/stdout']
I'm expecting a big fat 'no' but I suppose it doesn't hurt to ask, python has surprised me a few times before.

Solution 1 - Python
Actually if you break your statement into multiple lines you can.
Something like:
['../some/guy', '-m', '10',# '-p', '0', '-n', '100', '-f', '/dev/stdout']
should work.
Solution 2 - Python
You are correct, the answer is a big fat NO.
