wxTheClipboard problem, IDLE vs PythonWin

[Chris Munchenberg]

I know its a while since this was posted, and likely has been solve. But I just came up against the same problem and couldn't find an answer on Google, so here is my take on it all.

It appears that the wx.TheClipboard only works effectively inside a wx.App main loop (or at least that got rid of my problems with it). Doesn't mean you have to show a gui interface.
Hope this helps,

Chris.
