Hi Lloyd,

You can use any number of the "del" based operations.  But from the
high-level (using the PyRun_* functions), you would want:
  
  int delete_function(funcname)
    char *funcname;
    { char buf[500];

      sprintf(buf, "if callable(%s):\n  del %s", funcname, funcname);
      return PyRun_String(buf);
    }

This way you can give it dotted (qualified) function names if they happen
to be in another module.

If you really wanted to get fancy, you could dynamically create modules
and run code within them.
