==================================================
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

*all platforms*. On OS X, it uses native ``FSMoveObjectToTrashSync`` Cocoa calls or can use pyobjc
with NSFileManager. On Windows, it uses native ``IFileOperation`` call if on Vista or newer and
pywin32 is installed or falls back to ``SHFileOperation`` 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`_.

v1.1.0 --HG-- branch : py3k

``ctypes`` is used to access native libraries, so no compilation is necessary.
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.

Send2Trash supports Python 2.7 and up (Python 3 is supported).

Define TrashPermissionError (#21)
2018-02-06 22:28:47 +00:00
On Freedesktop platforms (Linux, BSD, etc.), you may not be able to efficiently
trash some files. In these cases, an exception ``send2trash.TrashPermissionError``
is raised, so that the application can handle this case. This inherits from
``PermissionError`` (``OSError`` on Python 2). Specifically, this affects
files on a different device to the user's home directory, where the root of the
device does not have a ``.Trash`` directory, and we don't have permission to
create a ``.Trash-$UID`` directory.
For any other problem, ``OSError`` is raised.
