But uh.. why?  What would it be handy for?  What's wrong with using 
strings for comments?

class MyClass:
	"""
	This is a big comment
	"""

You could nest different kinds of comments, I guess, but I don't see 
how that would ever be useful.

class MyClass:
	"""
	# this is a comment in a comment
	"""
