It's also very annoying to have to un-indent an entire block of code during debugging just because you want to comment out the conditional statement around it...

You could do what you say - comment the conditional:

    # if x:
    if 1:         # DEBUG
        block

Or, even quicker and dirtier:

    if 1: # x:
        block
