How can I comment #define_line

I know that in regular lines it can do this 

#print "Comment Line."

and the whole line is a comment

But I want to comment a "define line" in Python.
For example 

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

I thought it will "comment" the whole line, so the interpreter will ignore it, but it's not what happen. The interpreter refer to it as"regular define

In C if I remember it right it's simple, and it's something like this 

//#define Hello Holly

But how can I do that in Python?

There's no such thing as a "define line" in Python. The coding thing you show is already a comment, but it's a comment with special interpretation.

If you want to prevent a coding comment from taking effect without removing it, move it down to the third line of the file or lower by inserting blank lines or more comments above it.

I think /* and */ might be block-all comments, but if not, docstrings (triple quotes) are.
