I need to figure out a way to apply a result to the system clipboard without installing any software (i.e. Clipboard, Pyperclip).

I've searched many topics on S.O. but it appears that all the solutions require installing Pyperclip or other third party software, is there a system script that can be created to copy to the clipboard without the use of these? It's a requirement that I not have any installations that are required to run my program.

If you are on Windows you can use this script that uses just the standard os package

import os
text = 'abc'
command = 'echo ' + text.strip() + '| clip'
os.system(command)

my source

---

if you can use pandas library:

import pandas as pd
df=pd.DataFrame(['Text to copy'])
df.to_clipboard(index=False,header=False)

my source

---

on a mac you can use this script

import subprocess
process = subprocess.Popen(
 'pbcopy', env='LANG': 'en_US.UTF-8', stdin=subprocess.PIPE)
process.communicate('abc'.encode('utf-8'))

my source

---

and on linux, this may work

from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
p = Popen(['xsel','-pi'], stdin=PIPE)
p.communicate(input='Hello, World')

my source

---

and finally, if you don't know what operating system you are on, you can find out with a code like this
