Bongo, Variables in most programming languages either have to be removed manually or allowed to drift outside a boundary when they disappear for scoping reasons and perhaps are garbage collected at some point.
There are many ways to make transient variables that disappear at some time and do we need yet another? Yes, you can create one of those ways but what is the big deal with deleting a variable when no longer used? Examples might be the "finally" clause or the "with" statement or just putting the variable in a nested scope. -----Original Message----- From: Python-list <python-list-bounces+avi.e.gross=gmail....@python.org> On Behalf Of Bongo Ferno via Python-list Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2023 9:33 PM To: python-list@python.org Subject: Re: Where I do ask for a new feature > You can actually just do that with simple assignment! > > short_view = my_object.stuff.long_stuff.sub_object > print(short_view.some_method()) but then have to delete the variable manually del short_view -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
