"py-hungry-delete-backwards" instead " backward-kill-word" in python-mode.el

Question

How can I replace py-hungry-delete-backwards for the traditional backward-kill-word in python-mode.el? I tried to define the C-DEL key in the python-mode hook but it just get ignored.

This is, I want to use the backward-kill-word command with C-DEL in a python environment.

Thanks!

Well, I found the solution in a bugreport:

(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (define-key python-mode-map (kbd "<C-backspace>") 'backward-kill-word)))

For some reason my implementation of a similar hook was not working.
