Pyopengl - how to dispose old textures and glGenLists?

Question

I am using glGenLists like this:

my_list = glGenLists(1)
glNewList(array_list, GL_COMPILE)
# some OpenGL instructions go here
glEndList()

In similar way I am using textues:

my_texture = glGenTextures(1)

If I understand correctly, the textures and lists are stored at GPU. How can I dispose them when I do not need them anymore?

Is enough to ovewrite the pointers (my_list = False). Or do I need to tell to pyopengl that I do not need them anymore somehow manually?

Answer 1

There is a glDelete* that deallocates a previously allocated resource for each glGen*.

glDeleteTexture

glDeleteLists
