The following requires Mark Hammond's win32all package (http://
sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/):

import win32clipboard, win32con, random

text = "Some text to stick on the clipboard"

win32clipboard.OpenClipboard()
win32clipboard.SetClipboardData(win32con.CF_TEXT, text)
win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()
