In order to remove a specific document in couchDB, you just need to give delete function the document itself:

couch = couchdb.Server('https://SERVER_IP:PORT/')
 your_db = couch['your_db_name']

 # we assume you have fetched your_couch_db_doc document
 your_db.delete(your_couch_db_doc)

Use this method in preference over __del__ to ensure you're deleting the revision that you had previously retrieved. In the case the document has been updated since it was retrieved, this method will raise a ResourceConflict exception:

>>> db.delete(doc) # doctest: +IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL
         Traceback (most recent call last):
           ...
         ResourceConflict: (u'conflict', u'Document update conflict.')
