[hjacobs]

Looks like a bug in the pyperclip Python module..

[hjacobs]

@a1exsh maybe you can check your pyperclip version (pip3 freeze) and report the issue here: https://github.com/asweigart/pyperclip/issues

[hjacobs]

I get the same problem (Xubuntu 15.10):

$ piu 172.31.1.1 test https://github.com/zalando-stups/piu/issues/11 --clip

$ pip3 freeze | grep pyperclip
pyperclip==1.5.25
$ python3 --version
Python 3.4.3+

[a1exsh]

I've got the same versions (Ubuntu Gnome 15.10), pyperclip 1.5.25, python 3.4.3+. However if I try it with interactive python prompt, it appears to work:

>>> import pyperclip
>>> pyperclip.copy('test')

Actually, that works only with python3.5, not 3.4. All the 3 packages installed with pip3 go to python3.5 on my system.

[szuecs]

Is this issue resolved or what can we do to resolve it?
Maybe adding some documentation that this feature only works with pyperclip version xyz?

[outime]

If this is still an issue (can't say as I can't reproduce) perhaps --connect alone could work for some use cases as it directly connects you to the instance so you can skip the copy-pasting part.

[a1exsh]

I'm mostly using --connect these days.

[hjacobs]

I guess we can remove the --clip option completely.

[szuecs]

If nobody answers, with "No I am using --clip" in the next days we will remove it.
