Pyperclip is a cross-platform Python module for copy and paste clipboard functions. It works with both Python 2 and 3. This module was created to enable cross-platform copy-pasting in Python which was earlier absent. The pyperclip
module has copy()
and paste()
functions that can send text to and receive text from your computer’s clipboard. Sending the output of your program to the clipboard will make it easy to paste it on an email, word processor, or some other software.
Installing pyperclip:
pip install pyperclip
To copy text to the clipboard, pass a string to pyperclip.copy()
. To paste the text from the clipboard, call pyperclip.paste()
and the text will be returned as a string value.
Code 1:
# importing the library import pyperclip as pc text1 = "Lazyroar" # copying text to clipboard pc.copy(text1) # pasting the text from clipboard text2 = pc.paste() print (text2) |
Output :
Lazyroar
Code 2:
# importing the library import pyperclip as pc number = 100 # copying text to clipboard pc.copy(number) # pasting the text from clipboard text = pc.paste() print (text) print ( type (text)) |
Output :
100
Note : Copy function will convert every data type to string.
