Instead, try writing:

def func():
    if 0: return "foo"
    else: return "bar"

rather than using commenting to switch between the two cases (for debugging, 
of course).  At least it is easier to strip these out later (rather than 
double, uncommented returns).  The parsing for your case could be non-trivial.
