Python + Win32: Cut/Paste w/o GUI

[Roger Upole]

You can grab the clipboard text using the win32clipboard module.

import win32clipboard
win32clipboard.OpenClipboard()
print win32clipboard.GetClipboardData()
win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()

It won't really be copy'n'paste, but all you would have to do is copy the
text you need and double-click the script, which can then do whatever it
wants with the text.  If you really wanted it to look like a Paste, you
could
add a Paste action the the .py filetype.
