python lacks something like

/* commentblock
lalala
more comment
another line */

which I would like to use particularily while debugging to remove some lines of code temorarily.

For that, you should use a decent editor that can comment out multiple lines of code at once.
Alternatively, if you don't have such an editor, you can enclose the code in triple-quoted strings
or put an "if 0:" around it.

In any way, Guido pronounced this isn't going to happen.
