[issue14777] Tkinter clipboard_get() decodes characters incorrectly

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily <nad at acm.org> added the comment:

A patch would be great.  I don't have a strong opinion about the issue one way or another.  I suppose it would simplify things for Python 3 users if the clipboard results were returned properly in the default case when no 'type' argument is passed to clipboard_get().  For Python 2, changing things seems a little more questionable but, as long as it was already returning a unicode object in that case, it sounds like a bug fix rather than a feature.  Martin, Andrew: any opinions on this?
