If you use Emacs and python-mode you can easily comment out 
sections of code by C-c #

## from pprint import pprint
## from xml.dom import minidom as mdom

## print "dir(mymodule1):", pprint(dir(mymodule1))
## print "1:", split("1,2,3", ","), resplit(",", "1,2,3"),

and uncomment by C-u C-c #

In IDLE there is a menu for doing same.
