如果名称是循环中的变量，如何按名称删除数据框列？

Question

I have a loop I created to iterate through the column names and delete them in some cases. I'm trying this code below but it won't work. I'm unable to use call the dataframe column based on a variable name. It's expecting the actual name. Is there any way around this?

for name, values in (df.iteritems())
     .....
     .....
     del df[name]

Use drop function

list =['list of columns']

for col in list:
    df.drop(col,axis=1,inplace=True)
