Remove rows in 3D numpy array

I need to remove some rows from a 3D numpy array. For exampe:

a = [[1,2,3]
     [4,5,6]
     [7,8,9]

     [9,8,7]
     [6,5,4]
     [3,2,1]]

and I want to remove the third row of both pages of the matrix in order to obtain something like:

 a = [[1,2,3]
     [4,5,6]

     [9,8,7]
     [6,5,4]]

I have tried with

   a = numpy.delete(a, 2, axis=0)

but I can’t obtain what I need.

Answer

axis should 1.

>>> import numpy
>>> a = [[[1,2,3],
...       [4,5,6],
...       [7,8,9]],
...      [[9,8,7],
...       [6,5,4],
...       [3,2,1]]]
>>> numpy.delete(a, 2, axis=1)
array([[[1, 2, 3],
        [4, 5, 6]],

       [[9, 8, 7],
        [6, 5, 4]]])
