  24 copy data to it or paste data from it.  Normally, you should only use
  25 ``wx.TheClipboard`` which is a reference to a global wx.Clipboard
  26 instance.
  27
  28 Call ``wx.TheClipboard``'s `Open` method to get ownership of the
  29 clipboard. If this operation returns True, you now own the
  30 clipboard. Call `SetData` to put data on the clipboard, or `GetData`
  31 to retrieve data from the clipboard.  Call `Close` to close the
  32 clipboard and relinquish ownership. You should keep the clipboard open
  33 only momentarily.
