I'm assuming by "the shell" you mean IDLE's Python shell. You would do
better to be less vague in the future.
No, you can't use the un/comment features in the shell. Using them
wouldn't make much sense anyway given the shell's interactive nature.

Yes, of course. Press F5 or choose Run -> Run Module from the menu.

Cheers,
