I realize that that's a simplified example but really, isn't this just
as easy?
try:
Some code
# except Some_Exception:
# Commented code for when I am debugging <Some code>
If your code block really is one line is "pass #" really so much more
of a hardship than "#"? If it is a large block use "pass #@#" which is
easy to remove with a search and replace.
In any case, the rule about premature optimization for programs can
probably be applied to developers too. Is saving a "pass" once in a
while really where you need to focus your debugging efforts?
