MS Windows Clipboard

[Alex McHale]

  I was just wondering if anyone could clue me in how to read data from the
Windows clipboard?  I have been reading through all the past posts regarding
the clipboard; but none has had the information I'm needing.  They all have
to do with selections within the program itself.
  The idea is I need to be able to monitor the Windows clipboard for a
certain type of data.  Is there a way to do this in Python?
