Line Comments
Line comments start with a harsh (#), this tells the python interpreter to skip over this line, continuing on the next line.# Usefult comment here print 'hello world!'
Block Comments
Block comments are initiated with three quotation marks in a row ("""), this tells the python interpreter to skip the code until it reaches three quotation marks in a row (""") again.
""" Many lines of usefult comments here """ print 'hello world!'
When commenting code it is import to include a useful amount of detail, too many or too few comments can both have negative impacts on readability.
