✨ Clipman

Python3 module for working with clipboard. Created because pyperclip is discontinued.

Mostly made for ✨ YTCON

📘 Features:

Easy use and simple architecture by KISS
User-friendly
No additional modules
Supports many engines
We use PyLint and we comment all our code
Active development
Just good dev 😇

👽 Using

import clipman
clipman.init() # Just initialize module

# Set text to clipboard
clipman.set("test")

# Get text from clipboard. So simple!:)
print(clipman.get())
Out: 'test'

Also you can use clipman.copy("ytcon") and clipman.paste() as from pyperclip!:)

Catching errors

If you want to catch all errors from the module, use clipman.exceptions.ClipmanBaseException:

import clipman
try:
  clipman.init()
  print(clipman.paste())
except clipman.exceptions.ClipmanBaseException as e:
  print(e)

And if you want to catch specific module error, use its name.
