Linux, Windows. TkInter, Pmw.
I've already implemented this with code under my message, but "cut"
copies entrytext, without deleting selection. Any ideas

def copy(self):
             global copied
             if self.entry.selection_present():
                self.entry.clipboard_clear()
                copied = self.entry.selection_get()
             self.entry.bell()
         def paste(self):
             self.entry.insert(END, copied)
         def cut(self):
             global copied
             self.entry.clipboard_clear()
             if self.entry.selection_present():
                 copied = self.entry.selection_get()
                 self.entry.selection_clear()
             self.entry.bell
