I sometimes put the code in an "if False:" statement.

There isn't a multiline comment syntax, so you need to either comment 
out individual lines or use a multiple contruct (eg the "if" statement) 
or your suggestion of the triple quoted string (though that breaks as 
soon as the enclosed code itself has such a string).
