Unsetting variables in Python

Hrmm.. A little question for someone that might know Python a little
better than I do.

In just about every other language that I've coded in, there is an
unset() function of sorts that obliterates the variable that you pass
it, such that it is no longer available to be refered to.

    PHP Example:
    
    $test = "This is a test";
    printf ($test);
    unset ($test);
    // $test is no longer available to be used. It may be redeclared
    though.
    
Does anyone know the Python equivelant, if there is one?
