PyClip wraps the xclip
command-line program on Linux and the pbcopy
and
pbpaste
programs on Mac OS X and the clip
and paste
on Windows to provide an easy python interface to the
system clipboard. To install the library, download the code and run
sudo python setup.py install
. You can then use the library like so
import clipboard
# copy some text to the clipboard
clipboard.copy('blah blah blah')
# get the text currently held in the clipboard
text = clipboard.paste()
# helpful wrapper that passes pasted text through the csv module
# useful for dealing with data copied from spreadsheets
data = clipboard.paste_table()
Note: If you are using this on Linux, make sure you have the xclip program installed.
