我真的想不出Python需要del关键字的任何原因(而且大多数语言似乎都没有类似的关键字)。例如,与其删除变量,还不如将None赋值给它。当从字典中删除时,可以添加del方法。

在Python中保留del是有原因的吗,还是它是Python前垃圾收集时代的遗迹?

"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 ']

在以上回答的基础上补充几点: 德尔x

x的定义表示r -> o(一个引用r指向一个对象o),但del x改变的是r而不是o。这是一个对对象的引用(指针)的操作,而不是与x相关的对象。区分r和o是这里的关键。

It removes it from locals(). Removes it from globals() if x belongs there. Removes it from the stack frame (removes the reference physically from it, but the object itself resides in object pool and not in the stack frame). Removes it from the current scope. It is very useful to limit the span of definition of a local variable, which otherwise can cause problems. It is more about declaration of the name rather than definition of content. It affects where x belongs to, not where x points to. The only physical change in memory is this. For example if x is in a dictionary or list, it (as a reference) is removed from there(and not necessarily from the object pool). In this example, the dictionary it belongs is the stack frame (locals()), which overlaps with globals().

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。

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

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 :)
