DEPRECATION WARNING:

Question

I am trying to following the answer to this question in an attempt to copy to clipboard however all solutions provided in the answer seem to have failed me. On macOS, I have successfully used pyperclip and subprocess.run to copy to clipboard as described in the linked post, however on centOS neither works. I have also tried using Tkinter on macOS however when I run the following simple code:

  from tkinter import Tk
  r = Tk()

I get the following deprecation warning:

DEPRECATION WARNING: The system version of Tk is deprecated and may be removed in a future release. Please don't rely on it. Set TK_SILENCE_DEPRECATION=1 to suppress this warning.

I don't really want to build my application with deprecated dependencies however seeing that centOS doesn't support pyperclip or subprocess.run I feel like I have no other options.

Specifically I would like to know if there exists a good solution to my problem, that is, I want to copy to clipboard on centOS and ideally, I want a solution that will work on "most" platforms. Please note that I am using python3. Thanks

You have 2 options:

1. Ignore the DEPRECATION WARNING: See this post Using tkinter with Catalina, how to avoid deprecation warning? helped me a lot.

2. Upgrade Python: See the official documentation IDLE and tkinter with Tcl/Tk on macOS
