[python-win32] Not able to paste file in windows explorer using SetClipboardData

[game4 sale]

I tested my code today on Win 7 64 bit, and it worked almost perfect like
Tim said.

If the previous clipboard content was Text, my code works perfectly.

The failure part is:
1) Copy *Image1* from Explorer
2) Run my code to update clipboard with *Image2*
3) Paste operation in Wordpad application or Explorer ends up with only
*Image1*

Any clues please?Am i missing something?
Also how about the OleSetClipboard()? Do you guys think it will improve my
case?
