Python object deleting itself

Question

Why won\'t this work? I\'m trying to make an instance of a class delete itself.

>>> class A():
    def kill(self):
        del self


>>>          


        

Answer 1

what you could do is take the name with you in the class and make a dictionairy:

class A:
  def __init__(self, name):
    self.name=name
  def kill(self)
    del dict[self.name]

dict={}
dict["a"]=A("a")
dict["a"].kill()
