how can I copy a string to the windows clipboard? python 3

Question

If I have a variable var = 'this is a variable'

how can I copy this string to the windows clipboard so I can simply Ctrl+v and it's transferred elsewhere? I don't want to use anything that isn't that isn't built in, I hope it's possible.

thanks!

You can do this:

>>> import subprocess
>>> def copy2clip(txt):
...    cmd='echo '+txt.strip()+'|clip'
...    return subprocess.check_call(cmd, shell=True)
...
>>> copy2clip('now this is on my clipboard')
