It's simple to access the clipboard with Tkinter:

    >>> from Tkinter import Tk, TclError
    >>> root = Tk()
    >>> root.withdraw()
    ''
    >>> root.clipboard_clear()

    >>> root.clipboard_append('eggs ')
    >>> root.clipboard_append('and spam')
    >>> root.clipboard_get()
    'eggs and spam'

    >>> root.clipboard_clear()
    >>> try: root.clipboard_get()
    ... except TclError as e: print e
    ...
    CLIPBOARD selection doesn't exist or form "STRING" not defined
