I am seeing the comments like a programmer sees comments, you comment out a bit of code when you want to temporarily disable it. I see that this is a different kind of comment to a comment where you want the generated html to contain comments. Having seen Massimo's video on floss I can see why the html comments do not affect the python execution. However for a programmer, having things within comments execute is an 'unexpected behaviour'. Any way when one knows it works in this way it is easy to work round.
