I guess that depends on the Python garbage collector. Hopefully someone else can answer that, I'm not sure how often that does its thing.

This is something you can pretty much try for yourself.

$ cat test.sage 
A = matrix([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]])
print A
reset()
print A
$ sage test.sage 
[1 2 3]
[4 5 6]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 7, in <module>
    print A
NameError: name 'A' is not defined

So I guess it works.
