maybe you need remove the hash '#' before the command:

python --version

hmm:) sir i m not new in linux actually, i run python --version without
Hash in CentOS and i got error message and when i run same command in
Ubuntu, it works and it give me python version,

Your Trash-cli is working fine on Ubuntu OS , but now i am trying to use it
on CentOS/Fedora based Linux.

by "yum install python" command it installed python2.4, so as per trash-cli
requirement i installed rpm of python2.6. and now error of Syntax got fixed
but now i am getting following error
=====================================================

[root@localhost trash-cli-0.11.3-r315]# python2.6 setup.py install
running install
error: invalid Python installation: unable to open
/usr/lib/python2.6/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)

======================================================

Have you tested your utility on CentOS as well?? Guide me if i am doing
some thing wrong .

and Thanks for your reply...::)

I think that maybe your CentOS python installation is somewhat broken. Your
issue seems related to CentOS or your CentOS configuration rather that
trash-cli. When I have time I try to help users to resolve their problems
even when they aren't related to trash-cli but please note that trash-cli
is my hobby and I use my spare time to work on it and I work for free. In
this case I can't help you because is too outside the scope of my
commitment.

I would suggest you to use a generic mailing list about CentOS or Python
for getting actual help, I'll be glad if you would put
trash-c...@googlegroups.com in CC so I can follow the problem and the
solution.

Thank you
