I am running a Data8 instance of JupyterHub running JupyterLab on a server, and pd.read_clipboard() does not seem to work. I see the same problem in google colab.



import pandas as pd
pd.read_clipboard()


errors out like so:

Is there a way to get this working?

  • Pyperclip uses "copy/paste mechanism" specific to your OS to do the actual copying and pasting. As a result, it only works when directly run on a Windows/macOS/Linux system. I'm not sure if there's a workaround for this for JupyterHub.

No. The machine is run in the cloud. Python from there cannot access your local machine to get clipboard content.



I tried Javascript clipboad api, but it didn't work probably because the output is in an iframe which isn't allow access to clipboard either. If it did, this would have worked



from google.colab import eval_js
text = eval_js("navigator.clipboard.readText()")
