Copy from clipboard using Python and Tkinter
To copy from clipboard, we can use the clipboard_get() method of Tkinter. Let's take an example and see how to get the data from the clipboard and display it on a Tkinter window.
Steps −
Import the tkinter library and create an instance of tkinter frame.
Set the size of the frame using geometry method.
Next, call clipboard_get() to get the text from the clipboard and store the data in a variable "cliptext".
Create a label to the display the clipboard text. Pass cliptext as text, "text=cliptext".
Finally, run the mainloop of the application window.
Example
# Import the tkinter library
from tkinter import *
# Instance of tkinter canvas
win = Tk()
win.geometry("700x250")
win.title("Data from Clipboard")
# Get the data from the clipboard
cliptext = win.clipboard_get()
# Label to print clipboard text
lab=Label(win, text = cliptext, font=("Calibri",15,"bold"))
lab.pack(padx=20, pady=50)
# Run the mainloop
win.mainloop()Output
It will produce the following output −
It will display the contents of the clipboard on the window.
