Error while running send2trash on Python 3.7.0 beta 2

[victordomingos]

I have a small script that uses send2trash and works very well in Python 3.6 (Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan). However, when I try to run it in Python 3.7.0 beta 2, it fails with the traceback bellow.

best regards,
victor

This seems to be happening again (macOS Big Sur and python 3.8.2)

I can confirm the same ... same script works on my windows computer but does not work on my macOs that I just updated with Big Sur.

Let's wait for Python 3.8.9 and 3.9.1 and retry then. I am afraid that this will never work for 3.6 and 3.7 because it is not planned to backport macOS Big Sur support on it.

[BoboTiG]

As an alternative, I am using this code if that helps: https://github.com/nuxeo/nuxeo-drive/blob/8b629fdfc10183beb71337b2fd09de3c83a5a00f/nxdrive/client/local/darwin.py#L119-L150

Is this issue solved? I'm still seeing it with send2trash 1.5.0 (from PyPi)

[HWiese1980]

@arsenetar Is this issue solved? Is there a fix/workaround?

[arsenetar]

@HWiese1980 I was not fully aware this was an ongoing issue, I am aware of several potential ways to solve the issue. It is not currently fixed here with respect to MacOS Big Sur.

All conversation on the Big Sur related issue that is open should continue over at #51
