Drop multiple columns in pandas

Question

I am trying to drop multiple columns  column 2 and 70 in my data set  indexed as 1 and 69 respectively  by index number in a pandas data frame with the following code   df drop  df columns  1  69     axis 1  inplace True    I get the following error    TypeError  unhashable type   Index    And in my code the  1  69  is highlighted and says   Expected type  Integral   got  list int   instead   The following code does what I want it to do successfully  but on two lines of repetitive code  first dropping col index 69  then 1  and order does matter because dropping earlier columns changes the index of later columns   I thought I could specify more than one column index simply as a list  but perhaps I have something wrong above   df drop  df columns 69    axis 1  inplace True  df drop  df columns 1    axis 1  inplace True    Is there a way that I can do this on one line similar to the first code snippet above

You don t need to wrap it in a list with       just provide the subselection of the columns index   df drop df columns  1  69    axis 1  inplace True    as the index object is already regarded as list-like
