My immediate reaction is "You never want to do that" If you're doing something along these lines: #some code #create lots of variables #do stuff with those variables # <want to delete variables here #more code Try converting it to this idiom: def someFunction(someinput) #create lots of variables #do stuff with those variables return output #some code output = someFunction(input) #more code Regards, Stephen Thorne. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
