Send files to Trash on Mac, imitating shell command rm as closely as possible. Based on https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/162354/105139 and https://gist.github.com/dabrahams/14fedc316441c350b382528ea64bc09c

rem

#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
import sys
import subprocess

if len(sys.argv) > 1:
    files = []
    for arg in sys.argv[1:]:
        if os.path.exists(arg):
            p = os.path.abspath(arg).replace('\\', '\\\\').replace('"', '\\"')
            files.append('the POSIX file "' + p + '"')
        else:
            print "rem:", arg + ": No such file or directory"
    if len(files) > 0:
        cmd = ['osascript', '-e',
               'tell app "Finder" to move {' + ', '.join(files) + '} to trash']
        sys.exit(subprocess.call(cmd, stdout=open(os.devnull, 'w')))
else:
    print "usage: rem file(s)"
    print "       move file(s) to Trash"

Use sys.argv[0] instead of rem in this call and I can call it "trash" instead ;-)
