pyperclip: Pyperclip does not persist if called from script
I want to store something into the clipboard via a python script.
It’s basically just pyperclip.copy('text')
. I’m using Fedora 21 with AwesomeWM. I read here that a clipboard manager is needed to store it permanent in the clipboard. I installed parcellite. It now works, if I use it in an terminal, via
$python
$>>> import pyperclip
$>>> pyperclip.copy('teststring')
BUT if I do the exact same thing in an script
import pyperclip
pyperclip.copy('teststring')
and execute this script with python filename
.
It won’t get stored in the clipboard.
Any ideas on where the error may happen?
