comments?

[EscapeCharacter]

what the normal way to comment in python? ive seen two ways

the 3 double quotes """

"""this is a comment"""


and the hash #

#this is also a comment

You're confusing docstrings and comments. If you see the quotes, it's a docstring (or just a literal multiline string in the program). The only comments in Python use hashes.

Ah... the escape character checkin' out python. :D :D :D

Like jemfinch said, the """ is the same as " or ' except that you can span multiple lines with it.

And Guido suggests that all docstrings use """s, btw.
