How can I access the iphone / ipod clipboard using python?
Sorry no, I'm assuming since you mention python that this is a web-based application?  If so there is no way you can put something into/take something out of the user's clipboard automatically.  However if it is webbased the user will be able to select any text/image and copy to paste elsewhere.
I want to modify a python application written for the ipod/iphone.
It should copy a string into the clipboard so that I can use it in another application.
Is it possible to access the iphone clipboard using python?
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
Thanks for replying.
A bit of background: The python program is a vocabulary program running locally on my ipod.
Often I want to look up the vocabulary in a dictionary.
Then I always have to repeat the following steps:

Select and copy the word.
Close the vocabulary program.
Open the dictionary.
Paste the word into the text field.
Press search.

I want to automate the process, therefore I want the python program to copy the word into the clipboard automatically and start the dictionary.
I figured out the part with the starting already, using URL schemes.
I was hoping to be able to automate the copying as well.
