to or paste data from it.  Normally, you should only use wx.TheClipboard which
is a reference to a global wx.Clipboard instance.

Call wx.TheClipboard.Open to get ownership of the clipboard. If this operation
returns True, you now own the clipboard. Call wx.TheClipboard.SetData to put
data on the clipboard, or wx.TheClipboard.GetData to retrieve data from the
clipboard.  Call wx.TheClipboard.Close to close the clipboard and relinquish
ownership. You should keep the clipboard open only momentarily.
