Respectfully, I disagree strongly. Objects get build on the heap and persist even when they go out of scope until such time garbage collection takes place. This is unlike languages that build things in stack frames which naturally disappear with an exit of scope. For small or trivial programs, it does not matter. But when there is a lot of dynamic object construction - say, in very large programs, object factories, etc. - it can be important to harvest the space of expired objects sooner, rather than later. This, after all, is one of the rationale' for Python contexts - to ensure the release of resources no matter how the logic ends - correctly or by exception. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
