Recently I switched from Python 3.8.3 to Python 3.11.4. A strange
problem appeared which was not there before:
I am using the win32clipboard backage (part of pywin32), and when I use
SetClipboardData() to write text which consists ENTIRELY OF DIGITS to
the clipboard, I either get an error (not always the same error message)
or a program crash. The problem does not appear if I use
SetClipboardText() instead.
Sample program:
from win32clipboard import *
OpenClipboard()
SetClipboardData(CF_UNICODETEXT, "A")
SetClipboardData(CF_UNICODETEXT, "A0")
SetClipboardData(CF_UNICODETEXT, "0A")
SetClipboardText("0", CF_UNICODETEXT)
print("OK so far")
SetClipboardData(CF_UNICODETEXT, "0")
CloseClipboard()
Sample output:
OK so far
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "R:\W.PY", line 8, in <module>
SetClipboardData(CF_UNICODETEXT, "0")
pywintypes.error: (0, 'SetClipboardData', 'No error message is available')
I can get round the problem by using SetClipboardText(). But can anyone
shed light on this?
Best wishes
Rob Cliffe
