Hello All,

I facing problem while importing the module in Brython. I am importing the "Pyperclip" module as below -

<body onload="brython(1)">
    <script type="text/python">
        from browser import doc
        import pyperclip

        def copy_to_clipboard(event):
            logging.info('Copied to clipboard')
            pyperclip.copy(document["copy_to_clipboard_button"].value)
            spam = pyperclip.paste()

        document['id_copy_text_box'].bind('click', copy_to_clipboard)
     </script>
</body>

Below is the error which is coming up -

2015-11-24 10:08:16,066 - INFO - 127.0.0.1 - - [24/Nov/2015 10:08:16] "POST /respose_CR_superuser HTTP/1.1" 200 -

I have seen the previous thread on import issues on this group but could not solve this issue. It will be great if someone can help me in solving this out.

Thank you,

Regards,
Sakshi

Hi Sakshi,

Brython searches the module to import in a number of places : the standard distribution (there is no trace in the console because the program searches in a list of modules in script stdlib_paths.js) , then the directory where your HTML page stands, then the folder site-packages (you see the traces of Ajax requests for these locations in the console).

Are you sure that the pyperclip module is in one of these places ?

The problem with the import seems related with brython not finding the lib.

But pyperclip will not work with Brython. It uses subprocess and pygtk/pyQt to do the job and Brython can't use subprocess (you can only access the system in a very limited way) or the gui libs (made mainly in C/C++).

I created an example to do the trick here:

Let me know if this helps.

Best

Thanks kiko it really worked for me in Chrome browser. In Firefox it is not working. I think Firefox has some issues with document.execCommand("copy") command.

I think I didn't sent the latest version:

I tested it on FF and it is working on dev and 'regular' versions.
44.0a2 (2015-11-22) (dev edition)
42.0
