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?

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。

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[…]

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)。

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 :)

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
