import clipboard as c x = "Data to be copied to clipboard" c.copy(x) a = c.paste() print(a) print(type(a)) Other methods which is available in previous libraries is not available in this module. This module only have copy() and paste() methods. Output: b'Data to be copied to clipboard' clipboard import pyperclip3 as pc x = "Data to be copied to clipboard" pc.copy(x) a = pc.paste() print(a) print(type(a)) The only difference is, it converts every data types to bytes. This module is similar to pyperclip, all the methods which is available in pyperclip are also present in this module.

set_clipboard(clipboard): Explicitly sets the clipboard mechanism. This function raises PyperclipTimeoutException if timeout was set to a number of seconds that has elapsed without non-empty text being put on the clipboard.Ĥ. waitForPaste(timeout=None): This function call blocks until a non-empty text string exists on the clipboard. This function raises PyperclipTimeoutException if timeout was set to a number of seconds that has elapsed without non-empty text being put on the clipboard. waitForNewPaste(timeout=None): This function call blocks until a new text string exists on the clipboard that is different from the text that was there when the function was first called.

Pyperclip will convert every data type to string print(type(a)) #output import pyperclip as pc x = "Data to be copied to clipboard" pc.copy(x) a = pc.paste() print(a) Pyperclip have copy() and paste() methods to perform the operations. For example, in Debian: sudo apt-get install xclip sudo apt-get install xsel sudo apt-get install wl-clipboard On Linux, install xclip, xsel, or wl-clipboard (for “wayland” sessions) via package manager. On Mac, the pyobjc module is used, falling back to the pbcopy and pbpaste cli commands. On Windows, no additional modules are needed. Let’s first have a look into the dependencies of pyperclip required in different OS.

It is a cross-platform library, which means we can use this library on different OS. Pyperclip have methods copy() and paste() to perform copy/paste operation. In this short article, we will see three such python libraries. Python have libraries which is only dedicated for clipboard operations. It is very easy to perform copy/paste operations of Clipboard using ctrl+c and ctrl+v, you may think that performing clipboard operations using programming language may be difficult, but we can do this very easily with few lines of code using python.
