Cross platform clipboard for handling copy/paste jpg in python
This libray is meant to do only one thing and one thing well: copy jpg's to and from the system clipboard.
python -m pip install pyjpgclipboard
The ubuntu lib uses xclip
sudo apt-get install xclip
If you are running in a headless display you'll need a dummy x-server running to use xclip. Please install it using this:
export DISPLAY=:0
sudo Xvfb -ac :0 -screen 0 1280x1024x24 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
from pyjpgclipboard import clipboard_dump_jpg, clipboard_load_jpg
clipboard_load_jpg("myfile.jpg") # Clipboard now has jpg image
clipboard_dump_jpg("myfile2.jpg) # Clipboard image contents dumped to disk.
Make sure that tox is installed on your system and run it at the root directory of this project.
Probably not. Unless it's really important.
We only support jpg images (and not any other formats or text) because manipulating the system
clipboard across different platforms is hard. As of the creation of this repo there really
isn't any library that allows users to copy / paste jpegs. There are a lot of libraries that
allow cross platform posting of text and binary data. So this library is intended to fill in that
gap. Libraries like pyclip should, in the future, use pyjpgclipboard to handle the missing jpg
clipboard manipulation.
Selenium webdriver tests has a missing feature of taking an image and pasting it through it's api.
This is a problem if you are running a selenium test and you need to be able to test pasting an image as part of your test suite (hence the motivation to create this library).
There is only one system clipboard. So running this library in different threads/processes will result in collisions. It's up to the application running this library to provide any necessary locking mechanism.
