Remove unnecessary code

def more_complete_challenge_parse(self):        
        return

        challenge = headers['www-authenticate']
        # <authscheme> realm="<value>" [, <param>="<value>"] ...
        parts = string.splitfields(challenge, ',')
        p = parts[0]
        i = string.find(p, '=')
        if i < 0: return
        key, value = p[:i], p[i+1:]
        keyparts = string.split(string.lower(key))
        if not(len(keyparts) == 2 and keyparts[1] == 'realm'): return
        authscheme = keyparts[0]
        value = string.strip(value)
        if len(value) >= 2 and value[0] == value[-1] and value[0] in '\'"':
            value = value[1:-1]

In this code why did we do all this if we just wanted to return nothing. The code below return won't get executed so why did we write all this code. What is the purpose of it @gvanrossum ?

It's a funny way of commenting out code that's no longer used but the author at the time didn't want to throw away.

I think it's good way. This way one can have the code with him and if he needs to use it in future or as a reference than it can be very useful.
