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.
