[Python-Dev] Am I allowed to use C++-style // comments?

[Devin Jeanpierre]

I actually realized right after I sent this that I am writing C++, so
maybe it's a moot point. (Still trying to figure out how to use C for
this, but it's an optional extension module only exposed for testing,
so maybe it really doesn't matter.)

Context is https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/2878
