Delete
Tuple Elements
Removing
individual tuple elements is not possible. There is, of course, nothing wrong
with putting together another tuple with the undesired elements discarded.
To
explicitly remove an entire tuple, just use the del statement.
For example −
#!/usr/bin/python3
tup = ('physics', 'chemistry', 1997, 2000);
print (tup);
del (tup);
print ("After
deleting tup : ");
print (tup);
|
This
produces the following result. Note an exception raised, this is because
after del tup tuple does not exist any more −
('physics',
'chemistry', 1997, 2000)
After
deleting tup :
Traceback
(most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 9, in

print tup;
NameError:
