Yes. These are and should be legal
del a, b[1], c.d
del (e+f).g[9]().h
but I think this should not be legal
del a, (b, c)
That should raise
SyntaxError: can't delete tuple
and I would also like it if the following raised the same error
del (a, b)
but people use it now and I can see that perhaps, like with the from
statement, using '()' for long expressions is useful
del (some_very_large_variable_name[1],
another_large_variable_name[2].with_attribute)
I also think
del a,
should not be legal ("SyntaxError: trailing comma not allowed without
surrounding parentheses"?), but that's getting into my own personal
preferences.
