Delete/retrieve an element from an array

Question

When an element from an array is deleted using del, is it possible to retrieve the deleted element..

del_ele = []
arr=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
del_ele.append(del arr[6])

A [ ] is not an array in Python, it is a list. What an array is in Python is described here: (docs.python.org/library/array.html#module-array) — eyquem

Use the pop method.

del_ele.append(arr.pop(6))

No, it's not possible. Quoting from (http://www.python.org/doc//current/reference/simple_stmts.html#del): Deletion of a name removes the binding of that name from the local or global namespace,...
