Delete Function

Question

I'm trying to create a function to delete another function.

 def delete_function(func):
    del func

is what I have so far, but for some reason it doesn't work.

def foo():
    print("foo")
delete_function(foo)

doesn't seem to do the trick. I know one can do it easily, just

del(foo)

but I'm trying to do it a different way. How?

Since foo is a global, you can delete it from the global definitions:

def delete_func(func):
    del globals()[func.func_name]
