I was using win32clipboard.GetClipboardData() to retrieve the Windows clipboard using code similar to the message below:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/msg/3722ba3afb209314?hl=en Some how I notice the data returned includes \0 and some characters that shouldn't be there after the null character. It is easy enough to truncate them. But why does it get there in the first place? Is the data length somehow calculated wrong? I'm using Windows XP SP2 with Python 2.4 and pywin32-203. aurora -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
