It looks like actually this can be be built as a function today: def move(name): return inspect.currentframe().f_back.f_locals.pop(name)
Which works as follows, but it feels awkward to pass variable names by strings (and will confuse linters): >>> for v in itertools.combinations([1, 2, 3], 1): ... print(id(move("v"))) 1718903397008 1718903397008 1718903397008 Eric _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/HLQWDHLCEQCI75SBCCVNPUBLFT7R45QJ/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
