Description Giuseppe 2017-05-13 15:22:12 UTC 
I'm currently porting my application cherrytree from pygtk to python3-gtk3 and got stuck for the lack of availability of a binding for gtk_clipboard_set_with_data()

I tried to use a binding package from sugarlabs https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/commit/b9707272f752a0fda35b3898761ab037fd5f95ac SugarExt.clipboard_set_with_data() but that doesn’t seem to work, or at least I failed to have it working in ubuntu 16.04 LTS and package gir1.2-sugarext-1.0.

I actually got stuck on the same issue in 2011 (see http://python.6.x6.nabble.com/pygtk2-to-pygobject-introspection-td1941553.html) when for the first time I attempted the porting, and after 6 years still I don’t see a solution.

Its not bindable, see bug 656312 for more info.

There will be a new clipboard in Gtk4 that looks like will be bindable.
