Which is better in python, del or delattr?

Question

This may be silly, but it\'s been nagging the back of my brain for a while.

Python gives us two built-in ways to delete attributes from objects, the del

Answer 1

It's really a matter of preference, but the first is probably preferable. I'd only use the second one if you don't know the name of the attribute that you're deleting ahead of time.
