title: Deleting multiple DataFrame columns in Pandas
body: <p>Say I want to delete a set of adjacent columns in a DataFrame and my code looks something like this currently:</p>
  
  <pre><code>del df['1'], df['2'], df['3'], df['4'], df['5'], df['6']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works, but I was wondering if there was a more efficient, compact, or aesthetically pleasing way to do it, such as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>del df['1','6']
  </code></pre>
