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

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?

由于我还没有看到交互式控制台的答案，我将展示一个。

当foo=None时，该引用和对象存在，它不指向它。

而del foo也会销毁对象和引用。

如果你这样做如果foo是None并且它被删除了它就会升起NameError作为引用，它的对象所有介于两者之间的东西都会被del删除

删除目标列表会递归地从左到右删除每个目标。

与此同时，foo=None只是一个指向None的引用，因此引用仍然是有效的，对象也是如此。

[…在Python中，变量是对象的引用，任何变量都可以引用任何对象[…]

链接到引用2

还有一个小众用途: 在带有ROOT5或ROOT6的pyroot中，"del"可以用于删除引用不再存在的c++对象的python对象。这允许pyroot的动态查找找到同名的c++对象，并将其绑定到python名称。所以你可以有这样一个场景:

import ROOT as R
input_file = R.TFile('inputs/___my_file_name___.root')
tree = input_file.Get('r')
tree.Draw('hy>>hh(10,0,5)')
R.gPad.Close()
R.hy # shows that hy is still available. It can even be redrawn at this stage.
tree.Draw('hy>>hh(3,0,3)') # overwrites the C++ object in ROOT's namespace
R.hy # shows that R.hy is None, since the C++ object it pointed to is gone
del R.hy
R.hy # now finds the new C++ object

希望ROOT7的更健全的对象管理能够填补这个空缺。

首先，你可以删除除局部变量之外的其他东西

del list_item[4]
del dictionary["alpha"]

这两者显然都是有用的。其次，在局部变量上使用del使意图更加明确。比较:

del foo

to

foo = None

我知道在del foo的情况下，目的是从作用域中删除变量。foo = None是否这样做还不清楚。如果有人只是赋值foo = None，我可能会认为这是死代码。但我立刻就知道，编码del foo的人想要做什么。
