Can python send text to the Mac clipboard

The following code use PyObjC (https://pyobjc.readthedocs.io)

from AppKit import NSPasteboard, NSArray

pb = NSPasteboard.generalPasteboard()
pb.clearContents()
a = NSArray.arrayWithObject_("hello world")
pb.writeObjects_(a)

As explained in Cocoa documentation, copying requires three step :

• get the pasteboard
• clear it
• fill it

You fill the pasteboard with an array of object (here a contains only one string).

if you just wanted to put text into the mac clipboard, you could use the shell's pbcopy command.
