<p>So, if you have a python window open, use this module to quickly
<tt class="docutils literal">convert_clipboard()</tt> to a downloadable link.</p>
<p>In the backgound, this simply accesses the page linked by the
screenshot-sharing utility using <tt class="docutils literal">requests</tt>, parses it with
BeautifulSoup, finds the first link that ends in png using regex, and
copies that to the clipboard using pyperclip.</p>
