[python-win32] GetClipboardData crashes Python

[Mark Hammond]

I'm afraid you struck a bug with the crash - what it is supposed to do is
return a NotImplementedError exception, so it wouldn't have really helped.

I have just added a new win32clipboard.GetClipboardDataHandle() function,
which always returns an integer handle, and also fixed the crash with
CF_DIB.  I'd like to add support for getting the binary data of the other
clipboard formats, but I need someone who understands it alittle and is
willing to test for me.

Mark.

  Hi,



  I'm trying to manipulate a bitmap data from within Python, however Python
crashed when using "GetClipboardData". Is there any way of getting bitmap
data from the clipboard?



  The following is what I did :-



  >>> from win32clipboard import *

  >>> OpenClipboard()

  >>> IsClipboardFormatAvailable(CF_DIB)

  1

  >>> GetClipboardData(CF_DIB)





  Thanks in advanced.
