>>I don't know about Visual Basic,
In VB6 ( I have not worked with VB.NET), objects are set to Nothing when
they go out of scope, yet there is a fair amount lot of code out there where
objects are explicitly set to Nothing. This is a pretty common practice in
VB land.

>>but in Python these statements are unnecessary.
What happened to "Explicit is better than implicit"?
