This is good info...but I'm looking for the opposite direction: I want
to place some arbitrary command output text into the clipboard, not get
the current selection out of the clipboard.
Any help on that end?

I know the standard python libraries won't have that functionality
(except as a side-effect, perhaps?), but is there a simple trick that
would do it on linux? A command line to get text into the buffer? Using
a gui toolkit as a proxy to get text in there?
There's a utility called xclip that you can wrap with popen2 or
something similar. I use my own proctools:
import proctools
XCLIP = proctools.which("xclip")
es, arg = proctools.getstatusoutput("%s -o -selection primary" %
(XCLIP,))
"arg" has the X selection.
