To print in a desired format with fall-back to text, you could use this: paste_format = "rtf" *** public.utf8-plain-text: pyperclip: Looks interesting Print(rx.available(neat=False, dyn=True))įor k, v in rx.pasteall(neat=False, dyn=True).items(): Here's a demo that prints the available clipboard types, and then fetches and prints each one: import richxerox as rx Anaconda 3 comes with all the necessary pieces preinstalled, however. I had trouble building Objective C for Python 3, so that initially I had only gotten this to work for Python 2. It requires system support including the Apple AppKit and Foundation modules. It's quite straightforward on OS X with the help of the module richxerox, available on pypi. Pyperclip gets its hands deep in the Windows API, so it can't be very far from supporting a listing and selection of all available formats. I now have a solution for OS X (see self-answer below), but I would appreciate hearing if (and how) pyperclip or another module can do the same on Windows. This shows near-identical tkinter code for putting text on the clipboard.
#Public text clipboard portable

#Public text clipboard 64 bits
there is always a white space between the. Share the Clipboard with VBA and the Windows API Accessing the clipboard in Windows becomes quite tricky in VBA, particularly if you have to stay 32 and 64 bits compatible. This tkinter-based solution is simple and still works on OS X, but it only gets plain text- and I've found no evidence that tkinter can handle anything else. If you paste text from the clipboard into another textview, a white space is inserted in front of the pasted text.

Interesting, but no help with what I need. Copyright (c) 2011 Frieder Delor, Mailto: delorfr. This question is about dragging and dropping files to the clipboard (on Windows).

#Public text clipboard how to
This recipe from activestate is for Windows only, but shows how to get HTML. Pyperclip: Looks interesting, but on OS X it delegates to pbcopy and pbpaste which support text, rtf and ps formats only.
Create class:Platforms, in order of interest: system-independent (I wish), OS X Mountain Lion (my current platform) or similar, other platforms (I plan to distribute my code). 1 Answer Sorted by: 1 I would do it like this. So: How can I get a list of the formats present in the clipboard, and extract its contents in a format of my choice? I've looked and looked, but the solutions I've found are limited to plain text, super outdated, specific to Windows (I'm on OS X), reliant on the commandline utilities pbcopy and pbpaste (which don't handle all clipboard formats), or several of the above. In case it matters, I'm interested in rich text formats (from Word, Acrobat, browsers. I need to find out the available formats, and then retrieve the clipboard contents in a selected format.
Copying to the clipboard from an application that supports rich text will typically add the text in several formats.
