================================================== 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, on Windows, it 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`_. ``ctypes`` is used to access native libraries, so no compilation is necessary. Send2Trash supports Python 2.7 and up (Python 3 is supported). Installation ------------ You can download it with pip:: pip install Send2Trash or you can download the source from http://github.com/hsoft/send2trash and install it with:: >>> python setup.py install Usage ----- >>> from send2trash import send2trash >>> send2trash('some_file') When there's a problem ``OSError`` is raised. .. _PyGObject: https://wiki.gnome.org/PyGObject .. _GIO: https://developer.gnome.org/gio/ .. _trash specifications from freedesktop.org: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/trash-spec/
