It exposes two functions\u2014copy() to write text to the clipboard and paste() to read it back\u2014and claims to work across Windows, macOS, and Linux. The package has no runtime dependencies and is intentionally simple.\n\nThe author acknowledged in the original description that pyperclip already provided similar functionality but chose to publish clipboard anyway as a simpler alternative. However, the package has been abandoned since its single release in May 2014, with no updates to support modern Python versions or address any issues that may have arisen in the intervening years.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2014, no maintenance since), supports only obsolete Python versions (2.7, 3.2, 3.3), and offers no advantages over actively maintained alternatives like pyperclip. High install friction and lack of any security or compatibility updates make it unsuitable for new projects."},"id":"clipboard","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/clipboard","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/clipboard.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/clipboard/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2014-05-22","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"clipboard","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A cross platform clipboard operation library of Python.
