How do I drop a MongoDB database using PyMongo?

PyMongo 2.4 up to at least 3.11.4

from pymongo import MongoClient
client = MongoClient('<HOST>', <PORT>)
client.drop_database('<DBNAME>')

PyMongo 2.3 and earlier

from pymongo import Connection
connection = Connection('<HOST>', <PORT>)
connection.drop_database('<DBNAME>')
