<p>This article shows you how to use Python’s built-in <code>delattr()</code> function.</p>
<h2>Usage</h2>
<p>Learn by example! Here’s an example on how to use the <code>delattr()</code> <a href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-built-in-functions/" title="Python Built-In Functions">built-in function</a>.</p>
<p>Create a <code>Car</code> object with one attribute <code>speed</code>. </p>

<h2>Syntax delattr()</h2>
<p>The <code>delattr()</code> object has the following syntax: </p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted"><strong>Syntax: </strong>
<code><strong>delattr(object, attribute)</strong> # Removes attribute from object</code></pre>

<h2>Python del vs delattr()</h2>
<p>The alternative to Python’s built-in <code>delattr()</code> is to use the <a href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-cheat-sheet/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="Python Beginner Cheat Sheet: 19 Keywords Every Coder Must Know"><code>del</code> keyword</a> that is also built-in. </p>
<p>The <code>delattr(object, 'attribute')</code> is semantically identical to the <code>del object.attribute</code> call. Note that in the first case, the attribute is given as a string, while in the second case, the attribute is given as a normal attribute name. </p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group=""># Define class with one attribute
class Car: def __init__(self): self.speed = 100 # Create object
porsche = Car() # What's the value for attribute speed?
print(porsche.speed) # Remove the attribute speed from porsche
del porsche.speed # Does this still work?
print(porsche.speed)
</pre>
<p>The output is the same:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">100
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\xcent\Desktop\Finxter\Blog\HowToConvertBooleanToStringPython\code.py", line 17, in <module> print(porsche.speed)
