Actually the trash-put command accept all the options of GNU rm in order
allows user doing alias rm='trash-put', but it does not accept yet some
GNU rmdir options (--ignore-fail-on-non-empty, -p, --parents).

A enhancement issue about accepting rmdir options was added to the tracker.

It's available in some distro but many distro uses a very old version,
to gain all the advantages of the latest development version you can use:

    easy_install trash-cli

The easy_install command is provided by the python-setuptools package.
