Using gnome, so I didn't get to try out the KDE trick. xclip was in one of my repositories in Ubuntu. For some strange reason I can't use it without specifying the full path to it, but it worked for me - I was able to: ./my_py_script.py | /usr/X11R6/bin/xclip Then I had to paste with the middle mouse button - when I tried to paste with Ctrl-V I got some other leftover clipboard stuff. Typically I use Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V and mouse-highlight/middle-mouse-button interchangably. I had no idea they used entirely different clipboards...
