Linux is an operating system. It doesn't have a clipboard. The clipboard
is provided by desktop frameworks, such as KDE or Gnome.

Since gnome uses gtk, you're best bet would be to check the pygtk
documentation

Actually, Linux is the kernel, and the full system is GNU/Linux, as
RMS would hasten to point out.
Isn't the clipboard a basic X component?
However, for basic text, don't overlook the humble shell facilities
like | , > , < , and >>

What you're calling "the clipboard" is several basic X
components. More accurately there is no such thing in X as
"the clipboard". The "selection" mechanism in X is rather
complicated and can only partially be made to resemble "a
clipboard" in the traditional MacOS sense of the word.

Some desktop environments have implimented something more akin
to the MacOS "clipboard" , but AFAICT that's another layer on
top of the basic selection mechanisms provided by X
