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).
|
|
