Send2Trash -- Send files to trash on all platforms
==================================================
Send2Trash is a small package that sends files to the Trash (or Recycle Bin) *natively* and on
Add same-codebase support for python 2.7. When I opted for two codebases for python2/python3, Send2Trash used C modules and it was easier to just have two packages. With the ctypes version, supporting both python versions becomes trivial and it's much more convenient to merge them back into a single codebase. I've only tested this code on Linux. I've converted plat_osx and plat_win, but they only work theoretically.

uses native (and ugly) ``SHFileOperation`` win32 calls. On other platforms, if `PyGObject`_ and
`GIO`_ are available, it will use this. Otherwise, it will fallback to its own implementation
of the `trash specifications from freedesktop.org`_.
