Summary: Tkinter clipboard_get method (new in Tk 8.4)

Initial Comment:
When Tkinter was patched to include the new Tk 8.4 stuff
the clipboard_get method was left out.  The attached
diff -c 
file should fix this...

Thanks for the patch, applied as r45461. I agree with jepler
in all points.

The existing selection_get method also raises TclError,
instead of returning some sentinel value.  clipboard_get
should do the same.

>>> t.selection_get(type="INTEGER")
TclError: PRIMARY selection doesn't exist or form "INTEGER"
not defined

The patch looks obviously correct.  Under light testing, it
worked properly (Python 2.3.5 / Linux),  Recommend "apply".

Thanks Martin I wasn't sure...

I wanted to point out that this method raises a TclError if
it is called when the clipboard is empty... not sure if that
is pythonic or not... perhaps I could catch it and return an
empty string?  Perhaps I should bring this up on the Tkinter
mail list...

It's too late for 2.4; retargetting for 2.5.
