Hi I was wondering whether the del statment was going to stay in Python3000?
It is a bit awkward to use the del statement where a method call would do the same without the need for a new keyword. del list[elem] del map[elem] Where list.del(elem) map.del(elem) would achieve the same result (and I think, this is what happens in the backend). The same discussion was done for the "external" len-function (list.len() vs. len(list)). I don't dare to say that the del-keyword is superflous, but I would like to know the pros and cons of the external keyword approach.
