delattr¶

Description¶

Called when an attribute deletion is attempted.

Syntax¶

object. __delattr__(self, name)

self: Required. Instance of the class, passed automatically on call.
name: Required. The name of the attribute.

Return Value¶

#TODO

Time Complexity¶

#TODO

Remarks¶

Like __setattr__() but for attribute deletion instead of assignment. This should only be implemented if del obj.name is meaningful for the object.

Example¶

>>> class Frob:
...     def __delattr__(self, name):
...         print "deleting `{}`".format(str(name))
...         del self.__dict__[name]
...         print "`{}` deleted".format(str(name))
...
>>> f = Frob()
>>> f.bamf = 10
>>> del f.bamf
deleting `bamf`
`bamf` deleted
