Python: delete element from dict

Use del:

dict2 = {"key1":"value1","key2":"value2","key3":"value3"}

print "############### print before del#################"
for k in dict2.keys():
    myValue = dict2[k]
    print "key: %s , value: %s" % (k,myValue)
    
del dict2["key2"]

print "############### print after del#################"
for k in dict2.keys():
    myValue = dict2[k]
    print "key: %s , value: %s" % (k,myValue)
