You can send a CTRL+V with
root.fake_input("key_press",37); root.fake_input("key_press",55); root.
fake_input("key_release",55); root.fake_input("key_release",37);
where 37 and 55 are the keycodes for "Left CTRL" and "V" respectively. You
can find them with xev utility.
or you can use xdotool as I did in my script (written before I started
using awesome)

BTW I think you don't need to change the copy behaviour, but just remove
the formatting with xsel when you paste text with modkey + V
