Answer 1

Just put this script in your path somewhere, say in your project folder, then;

import pyperclip # The name you have the file
x = pyperclip.paste()

Answer 2

This is only for Windows OS!!

In C++ : Use GetData by using namespace of Systems.Windows See this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.clipboard.aspx

And for python, you can use gtk or Pygtk libraries to do the same task! For example:

gtk.Clipboard()

Answer 3

To read from clipboard in your script with tkinter is this easy:

try:
    # Python2
    import Tkinter as tk
except ImportError:
    # Python3
    import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
# keep the window from showing
root.withdraw()

# read the clipboard
c = root.clipboard_get()
