Pasteboard - Python interface for reading from NSPasteboard (macOS clipboard)
Project description
I don't know of a way to reduce the size of the pasteboard. If you go to View menu and select Actual size, Fit page, or Fit Spread, you can resize the window to show less of the pasteboard. Generally, slowness is tied to several things and your machine's display RAM and cpu RAM. The more in each the better.
Pasteboard exposes Python bindings for reading and writing macOS' AppKit NSPasteboard. This allows retrieving different formats (HTML/RTF fragments, PDF/PNG/TIFF) and efficient polling of the pasteboard.
Now with type hints!
Installation
Obviously, this module will only compile on macOS:
Usage
Getting the contents
Unsurprisingly, get_contents gets the contents of the pasteboard. This methodtakes two optional arguments:
type - The format to get. Defaults to pasteboard.String, which correspondsto NSPasteboardTypeString. See the pasteboard module members for otheroptions such as HTML fragment, RTF, PDF, PNG, and TIFF. Not all formats of NSPasteboardType are implemented.
diff - Defaults to False. When True, only get and return the contents if it has changed since the last call. Otherwise, None is returned. This can be used to efficiently monitor the pasteboard for changes, which must be done by polling (there is no option to subscribe to changes).
get_contents will return the appropriate type, so str for string types,and bytes for binary types. None is returned when:

- There is no data of the requested type (e.g. an image was copied but a string was requested)
- diff is
True, and the contents has not changed since the last call - An error occurred
Setting the contents
Analogously, set_contents sets the contents of the pasteboard. This methodtakes two arguments:
data - str or bytes-like object, required. There is no type checking. So if type indicates a string type and data is bytes-like but not UTF-8 encoded, the behaviour is undefined.
type - The format to set. Defaults to pasteboard.String, which corresponds to NSPasteboardTypeString. See the pasteboard module members for other options such as HTML fragment, RTF, PDF, PNG, and TIFF. Not all formats of NSPasteboardType are implemented.
set_contents will return True if the pasteboard was successfully set; otherwise, False. It may also throw RuntimeError if data can't be converted to an AppKit type.
Getting file URLs
Warning This API is new, and may change in future.
Returns a Tuple of strings, or None. Also supports the diff parameter analogue to get_contents.
Development
You don't need to know this if you're not changing pasteboard.m code. There are some integration tests in tests.py to check the module works as designed (using pytest and hypothesis).
