1) TKinter text and entry widgets should already have proper event bindings for cut/copy/paste. Test first with your system-default keyboard shortcuts (^C, ^X, ^V on Windows). I haven't tried it myself, but I think those events bind to '<<Cut>>', '<<Copy>>', and '<<Paste>>', so generating them should Do The Right Thing with selected text. 2) If you need to do any processing on the clipboard data, look at widget.selection_get [so named because of the way that X handles its clipboard] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
