How do you delete a metafield in Ruby on Rails?

I got how to Add a metafield and update, but seem to not be able to delete. Has anyone does this before?

Hi Terry,

you can delete a Metafield by making a DELETE request to /admin/metafields/*********.json. Here are the docs http://docs.shopify.com/api/metafield#destroy. If you are using our ruby API gem then you can call destroy() on the object and it should delete it.

When you create a metafield you will be returned an resource with an ID. You can then just simply delete the resource.

metafield = ShopifyAPI::Metafield.find(SOME_META_ID)
metafield.destroy

How would this be done using the Python package?
