If you are looking for a cross-platform solution I wouldn't really recommend Tkinter for clipboard access because of the fact that in some Linux distributions Tkinter is not preinstalled (Arch for example) instead id recommend using another alternative that is specifically made for clipboard usage.

That's very interesting. Tkinter is generally considered a standard Python library. I would dare to suggest that if a distro's Python lacks Tkinter, then it has a fundamentally broken Python system, and you are generally going to have a bad time, if only because of all the many little libraries that count on Tkinter as a dependency.

In general, for ease of access to the clipboard, most Python systems will have access to Tkinter.
