Python - Adding comments into a triple-quote string

Question

Is there a way to add comments into a multiline string, or is it not possible? I'm trying to write data into a csv file from a triple-quote string. I'm adding comments in the string to explain the data. I tried doing this, but Python just assumed that the comment was part of the string.

"""
1,1,2,3,5,8,13 # numbers to the Fibonnaci sequence
1,4,9,16,25,36,49 # numbers of the square number sequence
1,1,2,5,14,42,132,429 # numbers in the Catalan number sequence
"""

Answer 1

No, it's not possible to have comments in a string. How would python know that the hash sign # in your string is supposed to be a comment, and not just a hash sign? It makes a lot more sense to interpret the # character as part of the string than as a comment.

As a workaround, you can make use of automatic string literal concatenation:

(
"1,1,2,3,5,8,13\n" # numbers to the Fibonnaci sequence
"1,4,9,16,25,36,49\n" # numbers of the square number sequence
"1,1,2,5,14,42,132,429" # numbers in the Catalan number sequence
)
