How to delete a global variable from inside a function?

Question

I have a global variable ser which I need to delete under certain circumstances:

global ser
ser = [\'some\', \'stuff\']

def reset_ser():
    pr         


        

Answer 1

you could remove it from the global scope with:

del globals()['ser']

a more complete example:

x = 3

def fn():
    var = 'x'
    g = globals()
    if var in g: del g[var]

print(x)
fn()
print(x) #NameError: name 'x' is not defined
