I'd also add that the 'del' statement has near-zero utility.
'del' is a language blemish. It should not be used by beginners, because it asks them to try to manually manage the lifetime of their variable names. That's an unreasonable and ridiculous burden. Functions have local variables for a reason. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
