Re: How quickly could you get rid of three hudred thousand limes?

class Lime:
    pass

limes = []

def limify():
    limes = [ Lime() ] * 300_000

def get_rid_of_limes():
    for lime in limes:
        del lime

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import timeit
    limify()
    print(timeit.timeit("get_rid_of_limes()", setup="from __main__ import get_rid_of_limes", number=1))

I've done some experiments and according to my tests, it takes around 7-9 microseconds to get rid of three hundred thousand limes.

Re: How quickly could you get rid of three hudred thousand limes?

Hold on, what constitutes "getting rid of" exactly? Can you just walk away from the limes and say "these aren't mine, I have nothing to do with them?"
