A file can be deleted by opening it with mode os.O_TEMPORARY and then closing it. How can a file be moved to the Recycle Bin, a la Windows?

That's not deleting it (as you probably know), so you might better change the subject field for the thread. -- \ “Unix is an operating system, OS/2 is half an operating system, | `\ Windows is a shell, and DOS is a boot partition virus.” —Peter | _o__) H.

How can a file be moved to the Recycle Bin, a la Windows? I see a send2trash module (http://hg.hardcoded.net/send2trash and http://www.hardcoded.net/articles/send-files-to-trash-on-all-platforms.htm) The source code looks pretty straightforward, but I don't think there's anything in the standard library that does that. -- Jerry

Jerry, There was an error during the install but only required a minor change to an __init__.py file to correct. Works great. Just what I was looking for. Many thanks!
