I am a beginner in python programming and I am working on a project that I want to send files to the recycle bin using python. I heard of this "add-on" called Send2Trash which is what I wanted but I don't really know how to install it. I tried on the python website, other websites and from the author and it really didn't made any sense about the python setup.py install and about "Distutils". Can someone help give a clear instruction on installing this type of "add-on" very clearly. And also I apologize if I ask something like this because I'm still a beginner in python but it is really a big help if someone can solve this problem.

There are installation instructions on https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Send2Trash: `pip install Send2Trash`. – Jun 08 '16 at 06:34

Answer
If you are getting the error while using Python 3 on Mac OS X, try these commands in Terminal: pip3 install Send2Trash or pip3 install send2trash
I am on Mac OS X using Python 3, and this worked for me.
Explanation
I have read that most Mac OS X users have both Python 2 and Python 3 installed. Using pip3 (instead of pip) installs the module on Python 3 (instead of Python 2). (Disclaimer: I don't know if this explanation is correct.)
