使用python dpath库删除嵌套对象

Question

I want to perform a delete operation using python's dpath and delete the nested objects using the separator parameter. But I cannot delete the nested objects. Below is my code

import dpath.util
    
    dictionary = {
            "a": {
                "b": {
                    "c": 0
                     }
                }
            }
dpath.util.delete(dictionary, "a.b.c", separator=".")

After the delete operation, the dictionary is {'a': {'b': {}}} whereas the the desired dictionary is {'a':{}}

This works:

import dpath.util

dictionary = {
            "a": {
                "b": {
                    "c": 0
                     }
                }
            }

dpath.util.delete(dictionary, "a.*", separator=".")

After this operation, dictionary is now {'a': {}} .
