Provide name suggestions for failed attribute deletions

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

This was initially mentioned as a comment in issue #130399.

class A:
    pass

a = A()
a.abcde = 1
del a.abcdf # typo

Current Output

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<python-input-0>", line 6, in <module>
    del a.abcdf # typo
        ^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'A' object has no attribute 'abcdf'

CPython provides name suggestions when an attribute lookup (obj.attr) fails, but it does not provide similar suggestions when an attribute deletion (del obj.attr) fails. This brings about an inconsistency with regards to the developer experience offered by the language.

Expected Output

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<python-input-0>", line 6, in <module>
    del a.abcdf # typo
        ^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'A' object has no attribute 'abcdf'. Did you mean: 'abcde'?

Advantages

• Helps users quickly identify typos in attribute deletions.
• CPython already provides name suggestions for failed attribute lookups (obj.attr), so deletions (del obj.attr) should behave similarly.
• Suggestions are only generated when an attribute deletion fails, and hence has a minimal performance impact.

Note
CPython version - CPython main branch
Operating system - Ubuntu 22.04

L’issue ne nomme ni fichiers ni tests. Commencez par comparer le comportement existant de suggestion de nom lors d’une recherche d’attribut infructueuse avec le chemin infructueux de del obj.attr, puis repérez les tests CPython concernés par les suggestions d’AttributeError. Le travail est terminé lorsqu’une suppression d’attribut mal orthographié inclut la suggestion de nom la plus proche, sans modifier le comportement de recherche existant.
