The Pythonwin IDE has the Edit->Source->Comment out region command
IDLE has Format->Comment out region

Both use the shortcut Alt+3

But usually long comments are better exposed as doc strings.
Comments should be reserved for explaining why you wrote
the code the way you did - unusual constructs etc, use docstrings to
explain what the code is for.
