 I've seen a number of posts explain how to do it with tk
 is this the only way?
 
 (i'm not using tk as my gui tool kit.)

So what are you using instead?

Rene Linux is an operating system. It doesn't have a
Rene clipboard. The clipboard is provided by desktop frameworks,
Rene such as KDE or Gnome.

Rene -- René Pijlman

Actually, Linux is the kernel, and the full system is GNU/Linux, as
RMS would hasten to point out.
Isn't the clipboard a basic X component?
However, for basic text, don't overlook the humble shell facilities
like | ,  ,  , and 
R,
Chris

What you're calling the clipboard is several basic X
components.  More accurately there is no such thing in X as
the clipboard.  The selection mechanism in X is rather
complicated and can only partially be made to resemble a
clipboard in the traditional MacOS sense of the word.

Some desktop environments have implimented something more akin
to the MacOS clipboard, but AFAICT that's another layer on
top of the basic selection mechanisms provided by X

Since gnome uses gtk, you're best bet would be to check the pygtk  
documentation
