pyperclip module raising an error message


I'm using Python 3.4.0 on ArchLinux (without X11) as guest in a Vagrant box. When running my script I get this error message:

Pyperclip could not find a copy/paste mechanism for your system

According to this link, I've installed xsel and xclip packages but I cannot install gtk nor PyQt4 modules, because I get this another error message:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PyQt4 (from versions: )

According to this post, I should install python3-pyqt4 package, but the package more near showed by pacman is python-pyqt5 and it requires to install many packages included packages for X11. Is this necessary? I wish to preserve my distro light as possible.

Any solution? Thanks in advance.
