The second argument to SetClipboardData should be a handle to a bitmap  
resource, not a string.
See win32\test\test_clipboard.py for an example.

PS: Hmm, looking at SetClipboardData, seems that a string containing the  
data in the right format *might* work too. But it's easier to use  
LoadImage than building the resource by hand, I think.
