Comments are notes that programmers ad to their code to explain what that code is supposed to do. The compilers or interpreters that turn code into action ignore comments, but they can be essential to managing software projects.
Comments help to explain your Python code to other programmers and can remind you of why you made the choices you did. Comments make debugging and revising code easier by helping future programmers understand the design choices behind software.
Although comments are primarily for developers, writing effective ones can also aid in producing excellent documentation for your code’s users. With the help of document generators like Sphinx for Python projects, comments in your code can provide content for your documentation.
