If being cross-platform isn't easy, it won't happen. You see it now with the lack of any support for "call glob on arguments on windows and not on unix" [because the shell handles it on unix] whether directly, in argparse, or in fileinput
Could you elaborate on this point?
I don't see why you need to call an API to the desktop enviroment. The entire point of the spec is to provide compatibility _between_ implementations on the same filesystem - you can quit gnome and log into KDE and see the same trash. Python would just be a separate implementation that stands by itself.
If by "stands by itself" you mean "desktops can't interact with it", how would that be useful? -- ~Ethan~
