Can python access windows clipboard

[MaHL]

Can I use python to copy something(like a string) to the clipboard, so
that I can paste it somewhere else. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks very much!

The following requires Mark Hammond's win32all package (http://
sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/):

import win32clipboard, win32con, random

text = "Some text to stick on the clipboard"

win32clipboard.OpenClipboard()
win32clipboard.SetClipboardData(win32con.CF_TEXT, text)
win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()

Yes, using the pywin32 extensions that you can download from Sourceforge

pyfrom win32clipboard import *
pyOpenClipboard()
pyEmptyClipboard()
pySetClipboardText("Hello from Python!")
11272196
pyCloseClipboard()

Ctrl-v: Hello from Python!

If you're using Cygwin Python you can just open /dev/clipboard and work
on that.
