Summary: Carbon.Scrap.PutScrapFlavor

Initial Comment:
The GetScrapFlavor(), and ClearCurrentScrap() functions work fine, however the PutScrapFlavor, is not putting th e text into my clipboard. The function does not return an error nor exception from my code, as far as I can tell.

sample of code:
import Carbon.Scrap as scrap 
import MacOS

    text = 'the test text'
    scrap.ClearCurrentScrap()
    item = scrap.GetCurrentScrap()
    item.PutScrapFlavor(type, 0, text)

Result is: Previous text is cleard, and nothing is put in its place.

I am continuing to research this, as well as try it in C, and install python2.5.

Environment
Python 2.4
Mac OSX 10.4.9
Intel
