Python - delete multiple list elements in dictionary -

i have simple dictionary structure in python being used pseudo database. example of 6 entries shown below:

a={} a['name']   = ['a','b','c','d','e','f'] a['number'] = [1  ,2  ,3  ,4  ,5  ,6  ] a['sum']    = [2  ,1  ,4  ,3  ,6  ,5  ] 

each key in dictionary refers specific field type e.g. name, number, sum etc , data stored against key list of length n, n number of entries. note lists of length n. set allows me access records each entry, example, 3rd entry fields can use:

a['name'][2] a['number'][2] a['sum'][2] 

filling structure easy using dictionary append method. question deleting entries. suppose want remove 1 of records leave rest in same dictionary / lists, how do this? mean, how remove third entry such dictionary , lists now:

a['name']   = ['a','b','d','e','f'] a['number'] = [1  ,2  ,4  ,5  ,6  ] a['sum']    = [2  ,1  ,3  ,6  ,5  ] 

any appreciated. implemented in loop somewhere in code i.e. i'm looking remove ith entry opposed 3rd entry.

with data structure, there's not better can than

for v in a.values():     del v[2]   # or v[n] in general
