title: How can I access the iphone / ipod clipboard using python?
body: <p>I want to modify a python application written for the ipod/iphone.
  It should copy a string into the clipboard so that I can use it in another application.
  Is it possible to access the iphone clipboard using python?
  Thanks in advance.</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE:</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for replying.</p>
  
  <p>A bit of background: The python program is a vocabulary program running locally on my ipod.
  Often I want to look up the vocabulary in a dictionary.
  Then I always have to repeat the following steps:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Select and copy the word.</li>
  <li>Close the vocabulary program.</li>
  <li>Open the dictionary.</li>
  <li>Paste the word into the text field.</li>
  <li>Press search.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I want to automate the process, therefore I want the python program to copy the word into the clipboard automatically and start the dictionary.
  I figured out the part with the starting already, using URL schemes.
  I was hoping to be able to automate the copying as well.</p>
