Comment(by alex_gaynor):

 That's not a strange message, there's no protocol for Python to invoke if
 you try to delete a function call, so it raises a SyntaxError at parse
 time.

 For Python code, when del is used on an attribute it invokes __delattr__
 (or __delete__ on a descriptor), for C code with a descriptor it'll invoke
 the setter with a NULL argument.  My guess is numpy isn't handling NULL
 arguments correctly.

 This isn't a bug in Python.
