This should probably be written as:

from AppKit import *
from Foundation import *
def clipcopy1(arg):
     # assume that arg is ASCII
     board = NSPasteboard.generalPasteboard()
     board.declareTypes_owner_([NSStringPboardType], None)
     board.setString_forType_(unicode(arg), NSStringPboardType)
