Overwrite Copy command when getting out from terminal

[likage]

Pardon me if this is slightly off-topic but I need help.

I am trying to get my python script to to work in a linux terminal by grabbing the output such that the output results 'overwrites' the copy command (ctrl+c).

Currently while I am able to get this to work by opening a maya session but as soon as I tried running `python run_script.py` in the terminal console, I got the following error:

QApplication: Must construct a QApplication before accessing a QClipboard
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "get_pending_status_files_modi.py", line 10, in <module>
    cb.clear(mode=cb.Clipboard )
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'clear'

This is the code of my script:

def main():
    data_list = ['this-is-a-test', 'for-learning', 'purposes-only']
    connect_result = '|'.join(data_list)
    output = '{0}{1}{2}'.format('(', connect_result, ')')
    print output
   
    cb.setText(output, mode=cb.Clipboard)

main()

Though this is a small example, but I am using this for large amount of values in the data_list, and hence I want to know if there are any other ways that I can make use of?

By the way, I am unable to install any other libraries as I am using my office's computer while using linux environment, some of the methods online, using of `xsel`, `xclip` or `pyperclip` does not work for me, unfortunately..

When you are running scripts within Maya, you get a QApplication instance for free, because Maya has already created one as part of itself being a Qt application. If you want your script to work both inside and outside of Maya, then you can use an ifmain guard to only create a QApplication if your script is being run as an executable:

def main():

    # normal entry point for script in maya

if __name__ == "__main__":

    app = QtGui.QApplication([])

    main()

    # you will probably never get here if main() blocks. But then again,

    # it depends on whether your code needs the event loop started or not

    app.exec_() 

 

As for why your cb variable is None, I don't know, because you haven't shown enough of a code example to show where it gets created.

This is the code of my script:

def main():
    data_list = ['this-is-a-test', 'for-learning', 'purposes-only']
    connect_result = '|'.join(data_list)
    output = '{0}{1}{2}'.format('(', connect_result, ')')
    print output
   
    cb.setText(output, mode=cb.Clipboard)

main()
