另一个小众案例，但很有用。

from getpass import getpass

pass = getpass()
token = get_auth_token(pass)
del pass

# Assume more code here...

在删除pass变量之后，您不会冒它稍后被错误打印出来的风险，或者以其他方式结束在日志或堆栈跟踪中。

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。

使用numpy.load后强制关闭文件:

这可能是一个小众的用法，但我发现它在使用numpy时很有用。加载以读取文件。每隔一段时间，我就会更新文件，需要复制一个同名的文件到目录中。

我使用del来释放文件，并允许我复制新文件。

注意，我想避免使用with context管理器，因为我在命令行上玩图，不想经常按tab键!

看这个问题。

"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 ']

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
