On a quick googling, there are some IE only Javascript examples to do this. Apparently you can enable them in firefox but it requires a significant amount of about:config hackery (http://www.febooti.com/support/website-help/website-javascript-copy-clipboard.html). How about this as an alternative: on my box, I can drag the "source code" link from the browser into my terminal, which by default pastes the URL of the referenced *.py into the terminal. If "run" supported a -w (web) option, or automatically detected that the URL starts with http, it could do a web run of the file. Of course, you may want the source code pasted in for illustrative purposes... To support this, you could add a -u (url) option to "paste" which assumes the input is a url, fetches it, and pastes the contents into ipython. So you could type "paste -u" and then drag the link into the terminal, and it would fetch it and paste the code into an input block.
