disable a block of code

[Skaperen]

while doing some initial testing, i want to disable a block of code. many other languages have a specific comment start and end symbol. but Python doesn't.

can i achieve this by adding a line with ''' before and after the code to be disabled as long as the indentation resumes at the same depth? i tried and it works. but i don't what pitfalls there are, besides some other existing use of '''.
