Embedded comments in Python?

Python has no way of producing these sorts of comments.[1] I
suggest putting the comments either above the line or below it.
In the case of type specifications, I suggest describing the
expected types in your docstring, unless you use a framework
to actually validate the types, in which case the format you
use will depend on the framework.

[1] - Well, almost. I suppose there *IS* actually a way of inserting
a comment between two Python tokens. Simply preceed the comment
with "\\\n#" (a backslash, a newline, and a hash) and follow it with
"\\\n" (a backslash and a newline). I *think* this works between
any two tokens... right?
