How to filter the deleted entities?

[ladiesman1987]

I use the purge() method to avoid getting deleted entities, like:
msp.purge()
but it shows the modelspace doesn't have this method.
so ,how can i filter the deleted entities?

When iterating over an layout, it does not yield deleted entities e.g. for e in msp: .... If you have to purge the deleted entities manually use: msp.entity_space.purge(). The entities are removed automatically from the layout if you delete the entities by the safer option msp.delete_entity(e).

[mozman]

added BaseLayout.purge() to avoid access to the layout internals, available in v0.16.3.
