I think one of the reasons that del has its own syntax is that replacing it with a function might be hard in certain cases given it operates on the binding or variable and not the value it references. Thus if a function version of del were to be created a context would need to be passed in. del foo would need to become globals().remove('foo') or locals().remove('foo') which gets messy and less readable. Still I say getting rid of del would be good given its seemingly rare use. But removing language features/flaws can be painful. Maybe python 4 will remove it :)

"del"命令对于控制数组中的数据非常有用，例如:

elements = ["A", "B", "C", "D"]
# Remove first element.
del elements[:1]
print(elements)

输出:

[' b '， ' c '， ' d ']

我发现在使用Numpy处理大数据时，del对于伪手动内存管理非常有用。例如:

for image_name in large_image_set:
    large_image = io.imread(image_name)
    height, width, depth = large_image.shape
    large_mask = np.all(large_image == <some_condition>)
    # Clear memory, make space
    del large_image; gc.collect()

    large_processed_image = np.zeros((height, width, depth))
    large_processed_image[large_mask] = (new_value)
    io.imsave("processed_image.png", large_processed_image)

    # Clear memory, make space
    del large_mask, large_processed_image; gc.collect()

当Python GC无法跟上时，系统会疯狂地切换，这可能会导致脚本停止，而它在宽松的内存阈值下运行得非常流畅，从而在机器工作时留下了足够的空间来使用机器浏览和编码。

Del经常出现在__init__.py文件中。任何在__init__.py文件中定义的全局变量都将自动“导出”(它将包含在from模块import *中)。避免这种情况的一种方法是定义__all__，但这可能会很混乱，并不是每个人都使用它。

例如，如果你在__init__.py中有这样的代码

import sys
if sys.version_info < (3,):
    print("Python 2 not supported")

然后您的模块将导出sys名称。你应该写

import sys
if sys.version_info < (3,):
    print("Python 2 not supported")

del sys

del is the equivalent of "unset" in many languages and as a cross reference point moving from another language to python.. people tend to look for commands that do the same thing that they used to do in their first language... also setting a var to "" or none doesn't really remove the var from scope..it just empties its value the name of the var itself would still be stored in memory...why?!? in a memory intensive script..keeping trash behind its just a no no and anyways...every language out there has some form of an "unset/delete" var function..why not python?

有一次我不得不使用:

del serial
serial = None

因为只使用:

serial = None

没有及时释放串口，无法立即再次打开。 从这一课中，我了解到del的真正意思是:“现在就开始!然后等待直到它完成”这在很多情况下都很有用。当然，你可能有一个system.gc.del_this_and_wait_balbalba (obj)。
