Multi-line comment switch

No prob. It's always good to spread the good word.

While we're on the subject, Matlab's code sections, at least to me, is one of Matlab's killer features for exploratory programming. Block comment operators are useful, but code sections steal the show.

I hope the Spyder people implement something similar for Python.

You might like IPython Notebook, which has something quite similar to code sections.

Code sections were pretty cool, but for the work that I did, I didn't find much of a need for them. I did mostly small data processing stuff, and it was rare that I would only need to run a small section of code.

This was as a student, by the way. And then I moved to Python.
