Python Comment Deletion Regex Patterns

These regex patterns are better than most VS Code or VSCodium extensions for removing comments, as they allow for more control and precision.

1. Full-Line Comments

Regex Pattern:

^\s*#.*$

Description:

Deletes entire lines that contain only comments, including those with leading spaces.

---

2. Trailing (Inline) Comments After Code

Regex Pattern:

(?<=\S)\s{2,}#.*$

Description:

Deletes comments that appear after code, but only if there are at least two spaces before the #.

---

3. Strict Docstring Matching (One-Liner)

Regex Pattern:

"""[^"]+"""

Description:
Matches strict one-line docstrings enclosed by triple quotes (""") in function definitions. This ensures it doesn't accidentally match strings or comments.

---

Usage in VS Code or VSCodium

1. Open Find/Replace (Ctrl+H)
2. Turn on Regex mode (the .* button)
3. Paste the pattern in the "Find" field
4. Leave "Replace" blank (empty)
5. Click "Replace All"
