Thanks a lot, your solution works fine. :-) Here is the complete
minimal code :
====================================
#!/usr/bin/env python
#coding=utf-8
import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
clipboard = app.clipboard()
clipboard.setText('The text that must be copied...')
event = QtCore.QEvent(QtCore.QEvent.Clipboard)
app.sendEvent(clipboard, event)
====================================
Aron Bierbaum a écrit :
We ran into a similar situation where we wanted to ensure that a
QPixmap that is copied into the clipboard stays after the application
exits. Although as far as I know this should happen automatically when
your Qt application exists, we had to do this use the following code
manually before exiting our application.
# Send an event to the clipboard so that it copies the data over to the
# clipboard instead of keeping a pointer to the data internally. This should
# happen automatically on exit, but it appears that the mime type convertion
# methods for Qt -> windows formats get unregistered before this event gets
# processed. This caused a bug where we couldn't paste data after closing
# because there was not a conversion method. The magic function on
Windows that
# needs to be called to do this copy is OleFlushClipboard.
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
clipboard = QtGui.QApplication.clipboard()
event = QtCore.QEvent(QtCore.QEvent.Clipboard)
QtGui.QApplication.sendEvent(clipboard, event)
The basic concept behind this is that by default copying something
into the clipboard only copies a reference/pointer to the source
application. Then when another application wants to paste the data
from the clipboard it requests the data from the source application.
Calling OleFlushClipboard [1] causes Windows to copy the real data
into the clipboard instead of the reference. While this does cause a
delay when copying images, it should not have any noticeable impact
with strings.
