Hello. What I want to do is delete every dictionary key/value

there are many. What is the best way to do it?
Something like this should work:

def delkey(d, key):
      if isinstance(d, dict):
          if key in d: del d[key]
          for val in d.values():
              delkey(val, key)
Unless you have something hatefully recursive like

   d = {}
   d["hello"] = d

:-)

True -- didn't think of that..!

I guess then adding a check 'if val is not d: delkey(val, key)'
would take care of it?
