Use PythonInterpreter in Java to remove file into recycle bin

Question

I want to use PythonInterpreter in Java code to remove file into recycle bin.

This is my Python code:

from send2trash import send2trash

send2trash('C:\Slides\dog.jpg')

This is my Java code:

import org.python.util.PythonInterpreter;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        PythonInterpreter py = new PythonInterpreter();
        py.eval("from send2trash import send2trash");
        py.exec("send2trash('cat-2.jpg')");
    }
}

This is the error:

Exception in thread "main" Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
NameError: name 'send2trash' is not defined

My Python code works correctly, but not in Java.

The Python environment is installed correctly because the Python code works correctly.

I don't think you are supposed to execute line by line. Try instead to pass the whole string to py.exec :

py.exec("from send2trash import send2trash \nsend2trash('cat-2.jpg')");

Exception in thread "JavaFX Application Thread" SyntaxError: ("no viable alternative at input 'from'", ('<string>', 1, 0, 'from send2trash import send2trash\n'))

try py.exec("import send2trash \nsend2trash.send2trash('cat-2.jpg')"); instead, maybe it does not support this syntax.

File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named send2trash

The problem now is that this module is not found. How did you install this package ? Where is it located ? You did not provide enough info about that, and it is actually another problem.

The actual path with which the code works in Visual Studio is: C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\send2trash\plat_win_legacy.py
