Next week I will look at the pyperclip code & see if I can construct a less restrictive wrapper for xsel from it.
In response to ndc85430-
I am building a database using Python to code the databsse engine and Calc to to the reports. Both bits are working, but the link between them is manual & tedious; using the clipboard would greatly improve matters.
I could of course learn Panda and use it to rebuild the back end. But that is not high up my list of prorities; much more urgent is to learn Tkinter and build a front end user interface.
I had hoped that using xsel would be quick and straightforward, but apparently not.
