Move files/directories to Recycle Bin using standard Python libs

[Kevin D. Smith]

I would like to move files and directories to the Recycle Bin on
Windows from Python. I have found some older articles describing how
to do this, but they require additional packages to be installed. I'm
working on a plugin for an existing project and only have the standard
library to work with. Is there a way to use the Recycle Bin using
standard Python?

Sounds like a Windows only thing to me, so you'll probably have to use
the win32 package regardless. See the following links:

Or access the win32 api directly with ctypes (included in Python 2.5).
