Answer 1

This is the improved answer of atomizer.

Note 2 calls of update() and 200 ms delay between them. They protect freezing applications due to an unstable state of the clipboard:

from Tkinter import Tk
import time     

r = Tk()
r.withdraw()
r.clipboard_clear()
r.clipboard_append('some string')

r.update()
time.sleep(.2)
r.update()

r.destroy()
