Delete post in Flask Social Network

Trying to build on top of the Flask Social Network, want to delete posts, so far I've tried modifying the view_posts route, but am getting a "builtins.TypeError: delete_instance() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self' "

@app.route('/delete_post/<int:post_id>')
def delete_post(post_id):
    posts = models.Post.delete_instance().where(models.Post.id == post_id)
    if posts.count() == 0:
        abort(404)
    return redirect(url_for('index'))

<h2>
    <a href="{{ url_for('delete_post', post_id=post.id) }}">Delete</a>
</h2>

I don't know why are you using assignation when deleting, I don't think its neccesary.

I'd use this, but I've not tested it.

try: models.Post.where(models.Post.id == post_id).delete_instance() exception: abort(404)
