The GetScrapFlavor(), and ClearCurrentScrap() functions work fine, however the PutScrapFlavor, is not putting th e text into my clipboard. The function does not return an error nor exception from my code, as far as I can tell. sample of code: import Carbon.Scrap as scrap import MacOS text = 'the test text' scrap.ClearCurrentScrap() item = scrap.GetCurrentScrap() item.PutScrapFlavor(type, 0, text) Result is: Previous text is cleard, and nothing is put in its place. I am continuing to research this, as well as try it in C, and install python2.5. Environment Python 2.4 Mac OSX 10.4.9 Intel

Tested with python25, function calls GetScrapFlavorData, and PutScrapFlavorData now result in a bus error.

I'm confirming this issue on Intel / Leopard with python 2.5 (system python), 2.5 (macports) and 2.6 (macports). PPC / Tiger with python 2.3 (system python), 2.5 (macports) and 2.6 (macports) just errors out with: MacOS.Error: (-4960, 'coreFoundationUnknownErr')

The failure testcase that dingus9 provided is: import Carbon.Scrap as Scrap scrap = Scrap.GetCurrentScrap() scrap.GetScrapFlavorData('TEXT')

Lowering the priority to low because this is a bug in a deprecated binding for a deprecated Apple framework. I won't work on a fix, although I am willing to review and apply a patch when someone provides one.
