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, xsel, or wl-clipboard (for "wayland" sessions) via package manager.
For example, in Debian:
    sudo apt-get install xclip
    sudo apt-get install xsel
    sudo apt-get install wl-clipboard

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 seems to 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
    - wl-copy/wl-paste
    - 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.
