How to delete an instantiated object Python

Question

I am relatively new to object oriented programming and I cannot figure out how to delete an instantiated object in python  Any help would be much appreciated            if self hit paddle pos     True or self hit paddle2 pos     True              bar   bar   1         if bar    1              global barbox1             barbox1   barfill canvas              barbox1 canvas move barbox1 id  253  367          if bar    2              global barbox2             barbox2   barfill canvas              barbox2 canvas move barbox2 id  293  367          if bar    3              global barbox3             barbox3   barfill canvas              barbox3 canvas move barbox3 id  333  367          if bar    4              global barbox4             barbox4   barfill canvas              barbox4 canvas move barbox4 id  373  367          if bar    5              global barbox5             barbox5   barfill canvas              barbox5 canvas move barbox5 id  413  367              bar   0             time sleep 0 2              barbox1   None             barbox2   None             barbox3   None             barbox4   None             barbox5   None   That is the code  the main thing I was trying in order to delete the objects was barbox1   None  but that doesn t seem to work

object   del   self  is called when the instance is about to be destroyed    gt  gt  gt  class Test          def   del   self               print  deleted        gt  gt  gt  test   Test    gt  gt  gt  del test deleted   Object is not deleted unless all of its references are removed As quoted by ethan   Also  From Python official doc reference      del x doesn   t directly call x del       the former decrements the   reference count for x by one  and the latter is only called when x   s   reference count reaches zero

What do you mean by delete   In Python  removing a reference  or a name  can be done with the del keyword  but if there are other names to the same object that object will not be deleted   -- gt  test   3 -- gt  print test  3 -- gt  del test -- gt  print test  Traceback  most recent call last     File   lt stdin gt    line 1  in  lt module gt  NameError  name  test  is not defined   compared to   -- gt  test   5 -- gt  other is test    check that both name refer to the exact same object True -- gt  del test         gets rid of test  but the object is still referenced by other -- gt  print other  5
