deleting element from python dictionary
<p>I need the most efficient way to delete few items from the dictionary, RIght now, Im using for stmt as given below..Thinking the same thing should be accomplished in few lines.</p>

<pre><code>for eachitem in dicta:
                del eachitem['NAME']
                del eachitem['STATE']
                del eachitem['COUNTRY']
                del eachitem['REGION']
                del eachitem['LNAME']

dicta = [{'name','Bob','STATE':'VA','COUNTRY':'US','REGION':'MIDWEST','LNAME':'Brian',Salary:6000}]
</code></pre>

<p>I want only the salary item in the dictionary once its deleted.
Any inputs are appreciated.</p>
