destructor in Python

In Python, destructors are not needed as much as in C++ because Python has a garbage collector that handles memory management automatically. 
The __del__() method is a known as a destructor method in Python. It is called when all references to the object have been deleted i.e when an object is garbage collected. 
```
class Employee:
    # Initializing
    def __init__(self):
        print('Employee created.')
 
    # Deleting (Calling destructor)
    def __del__(self):
        print('Destructor called, Employee deleted.')
 
obj = Employee()
del obj
```
