I use the following variation, in case the clipboard contains other stuff than
text... does anyone know if this is necessary?

def GetClipboardText():
    import win32clipboard, win32con
    win32clipboard.OpenClipboard(0)
    clip_data = win32clipboard.GetClipboardData(win32con.CF_TEXT)
    clip_text = str(clip_data)
    win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()
    return clip_text
