Can I use python to copy something(like a string) to the clipboard, so
that I can paste it somewhere else. Is there a way to do this?

Yes, using the pywin32 extensions that you can download from Sourceforge

py> from win32clipboard import *
py> OpenClipboard()
py> EmptyClipboard()
py> SetClipboardText("Hello from Python!")
11272196
py> CloseClipboard()

Ctrl-v: Hello from Python!
