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')
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
