    \$\begingroup\$ There's also an alternative to xclip called xsel on Linux systems, which would save you another byte - and as already mentioned, remove the "as o" import part again, it just makes things longer: import os;os.system(":|xsel") (29 bytes). \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 1, 2017 at 16:01
