Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python1.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 764, in
__call__
    return apply(self.func, args)
  File "tkPad.py", line 146, in paste
    contents = root.selection_get()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python1.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 280, in
selection_get
    return self.tk.call(('selection', 'get') + self._options(kw))
TclError: PRIMARY selection doesn't exist or form "STRING" not defined
