- Pyperclip
- A cross-platform clipboard module for Python, with copy & paste functions for plain text.
- By Al Sweigart al@inventwithpython.com
- BSD License
- Usage:
- import pyperclip
- pyperclip.copy('The text to be copied to the clipboard.')
- spam = pyperclip.paste()
- if not pyperclip.is_available():
- print("Copy functionality unavailable!")
- On Windows, no additional modules are needed.
- On Mac, the pyobjc module is used, falling back to the pbcopy and pbpaste cli
- commands. (These commands should come with OS X.).
- On Linux, install xclip or xsel via package manager. For example, in Debian:
- sudo apt-get install xclip
- sudo apt-get install xsel
- Otherwise on Linux, you will need the gtk or PyQt5/PyQt4 modules installed.
- gtk and PyQt4 modules are not available for Python 3,
- and this module does not work with PyGObject yet.
- Note: There seem sto be a way to get gtk on Python 3, according to:
- https://askubuntu.com/questions/697397/python3-is-not-supporting-gtk-module
- Cygwin is currently not supported.
- Security Note: This module runs programs with these names:
- - which
- - where
- - pbcopy
- - pbpaste
- - xclip
- - xsel
- - klipper
- - qdbus
- A malicious user could rename or add programs with these names, tricking
- Pyperclip into running them with whatever permissions the Python process has.
