C-c # is a command of python-mode.el, that is not part of Emacs.
To uncomment you have just to C-u C-c #.
However,you are probably using the python mode that come with emacs.
So with this less mode you will have to use M-; that can lead to
problems of indentation in the lines that come after commented lines
made with M-;.
So if you work a lot on python, you should use python-mode.el.
