+Pyperclip
+
+A cross-platform clipboard module for Python, with copy & paste functions for plain text.
+By Al Sweigart al@inventwithpython.com
+BSD License
+
+Usage:
+  import pyperclip
+  pyperclip.copy('The text to be copied to the clipboard.')
+  spam = pyperclip.paste()
+
+  if not pyperclip.is_available():
+    print("Copy functionality unavailable!")
+
+On Windows, no additional modules are needed.
+On Mac, the pyobjc module is used, falling back to the pbcopy and pbpaste cli
+    commands. (These commands should come with OS X.).
+On Linux, install xclip, xsel, or wl-clipboard (for "wayland" sessions) via package manager.
+For example, in Debian:
+    sudo apt-get install xclip
+    sudo apt-get install xsel
+    sudo apt-get install wl-clipboard
+
+Otherwise on Linux, you will need the gtk or PyQt5/PyQt4 modules installed.
+
+gtk and PyQt4 modules are not available for Python 3,
+and this module does not work with PyGObject yet.
+
+Note: There seems to be a way to get gtk on Python 3, according to:
+    https://askubuntu.com/questions/697397/python3-is-not-supporting-gtk-module
+
+Cygwin is currently not supported.
+
+Security Note: This module runs programs with these names:
+    - which
+    - where
+    - pbcopy
+    - pbpaste
+    - xclip
+    - xsel
+    - wl-copy/wl-paste
+    - klipper
+    - qdbus
+A malicious user could rename or add programs with these names, tricking
+Pyperclip into running them with whatever permissions the Python process has.
