Python3 module to copy string to system clipboard

Question

I tried doing some research, but havent seem to come up with something yet, so i figured someone might be able to help.

I want to use my existing python code:

decoded_pass = decrypt(
                    param_encoded_salt,
                    param_encoded_password
                ).decode('utf-8')

and copy its value to my system "clipboard".

So if I go into another application and ctrl+v it will have the value of decoded_pass

How can I do this in Python3

Google seems to turn up what you're looking for immediately. — user2357112, Commented Jan 22, 2016 at 21:51
@user2357112 - actually text = clipboard.paste() just copies the value to text, not to memory. — CodeTalk, Commented Jan 22, 2016 at 21:53
@CodeTalk what "memory" do you mean ? text = clipboard.paste() copies from clipboard to text variable and clipboard.copy(text) copies from text variables to clipboard. — furas, Commented Jan 22, 2016 at 22:00
@furas - thanks for that explanation! That's really helpful! — CodeTalk, Commented Jan 22, 2016 at 22:13

There is pyperclip. Probably PyAutoGUI can do it too (the same author).
