Clearly you miss the point.  If the clipboard API is defined to return a
null-terminated string, then the problem is in the Python library which
doesn't do a strlen() (or the wide-character equivalent;  I forget its
name) on the results.

But there's a big if there.  Somebody is either ill specified or poorly
implemented here.
