tkinter error when copying contents from clipboard in Python
You can't avoid the error since this is designed behavior, but you can handle the error.
import tkinter as tk...try: selection = r.selection.get(selection="CLIPBOARD")except tk.TclError: selection = None...
I came across with the below script and it helped me to get what I aimed for.
import timefrom tkinter import Tkwhile True: r = Tk() try: result = r.selection_get(selection="CLIPBOARD") print(result) time.sleep(1) except: selection = None
I went on with having the try except block with a generic except. @Bryan Oakley's suggestion helped a lot.
