Hi all,
I wanted to know whether there is a more efficient way to delete an
entry from a dictionary (instead of using the 'del' function), because
after analyzing the time taken by the code, it seems to me that the
'del' function takes most of the time.
That is hard to imagine.
del ob[sub]
has the same effect as
ob.__delitem__(sub)
but I suspect this would take longer since it requires a runtime
attribute lookup and Python level function call. So I am pretty sure
the answer is 'no'.
