Assuming the use-case for including a URL-comment is to be able to 
locate the resource again, I'd leave it integral so that it is ready for 
a quick copy-paste. Otherwise you'd have to re-assemble the URL in the 
browser, from multiple comment-lines in the code...

In addition to PEP-8, please consider 'the Zen of Python' (practicality 
and purity).

	python3 -c "import this"
