title: Section Header Comments in Python
body: <p>I've searched on Google and could not find any information on recommended ways to highlight sections of code with comments.</p>
  
  <p>I'm thinking of something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>###########################################################
  # This section is clearly labeled using comments so you can 
  # instantly identify its purpose within this file.
  ###########################################################
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I see this kind of thing a lot in <code>php</code> for example.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a convention for this kind of thing in python? If not, is there a good reason to avoid it?</p>
  
  <p>If this is generally done using multi-line comments, could someone please provide an example of how it's done in this "headline" style?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I know about multi-line comments. But generally I associate these with a single function rather than a section of code. So more specifically I'm thinking something like this for a small game in a single file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>###################################################
  #              CONFIGURATION   
  ##################################################
  
  configuration code...
  
  ###################################################
  #              HELPER FUNCTIONS
  #################################################   
  
  helper functions.....
  
  ###################################################
  #                 GRAPHICS HANDLING
  #######################################################
  
  graphics handling....
  </code></pre>
