We should modify the existing function (remove_entry). We should be adding a new function called trash_entry. These hit two different APIs. Just update the existing references from remove_entry to trash_entry. Thanks. We're almost there.

But then I have to check for delete_to_trash before every call to remove_entry. Shouldn't we then have something like a delegate function that either calls remove_entry or trash_entry based on the variable's value?

I'm tempted to agree, but two points I'd like to make:

  1. This module is a general API wrapper. There should be minimal intelligence. We should put branching logic in another module.
  2. There is always the chance that we'll have a need to either definitely trash things or definitely delete things, later. We can't not prevent us from being able to do that.

Please create a "gdutility" module in the same package (path) with a class called "GdUtility" and add a method called "smart_delete" that calls the appropriate method.

'fileId': normalized_entry.id,
'body': {
'trashed': True
}
}

try:
result = client.files().delete(**args).execute()
result = client.files().update(**args).execute()
except Exception as e:
if e.__class__.__name__ == 'HttpError' and \
str(e).find('File not found') != -1:
