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 -- 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, it follows 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.
