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?

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。

除非重新初始化，否则Del将从当前作用域删除变量。将其设置为None将其保留在当前范围内。

a = "python string"        
print(a)
del a
print(a)
a = "new python string"
print(a)

输出:

python string
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "testing.py", line 4, in <module>
    print(a)
NameError: name 'a' is not defined

这是我贡献的2美分:

我有一个优化问题，我使用一个Nlopt库。 我初始化类和它的一些方法，我在代码的其他几个部分使用。

我得到的结果是随机的，即使是同样的数值问题。

我刚刚意识到，通过这样做，一些虚假数据包含在对象中，而它应该没有任何问题。使用del后，我猜内存被正确地清除，这可能是一个内部问题的类，其中一些变量可能不喜欢被重用没有适当的构造函数。

del在python中什么时候有用?

您可以使用它来删除数组中的单个元素，而不是切片语法x[i:i+1]=[]。这可能是有用的，例如，如果你在操作系统。行走并希望删除目录中的一个元素。不过，我不认为关键字对此有用，因为可以使用[].remove(index)方法(.remove方法实际上是search-and-remove-first-instance-of-value)。
