Hi
I was wondering whether the del statment was going to stay in Python3000?
It is a bit awkward to use the del statement where a method call would do
the same without the need for a new keyword.
del list[elem]
del map[elem]
Where
list.del(elem)
map.del(elem)
would achieve the same result (and I think, this is what happens in the
backend).
The same discussion was done for the "external" len-function (list.len()
vs. len(list)).
I don't dare to say that the del-keyword is superflous, but I would like
to know the pros and cons of the external keyword approach.
Greetings,
Marco
