Xerox: Copy + Paste for Python
==============================
*Xerox* is a copy + paste module for python. It's aim is simple: to be as incredibly simple as possible.
Supported platforms are currently OS X, X11 (Linux, BSD, etc.), and Windows.
If you can make it simpler, please fork.
Usage
-----
Usage is as follows::
xerox.copy(u'some string')
And to paste::
>>> xerox.paste()
u'some string'
On Linux you can optionally also copy into the X selection clipboard for
middle-click-paste capability::
xerox.copy(u'Some string', xsel=True)
And you can choose to paste from the X selection rather than the system
clipboard::
xerox.paste(xsel=True)
And, that's it.
Command Line
~~~~~~~~~~~~
To copy::
$ xerox some string
or::
$ echo some string | xerox
To paste::
>>> xerox
some string
Installation
------------
To install Xerox, simply::
$ pip install xerox
Note: If you are installing xerox on Windows, you will also need to install the pywin32_ module.
