+    wx.Clipboard represents the system clipboard and provides methods to copy data

+    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.
