=== How do I copy and paste text from GTK widgets? ===
The code below creates a simple gtk.Entry widget where text can be entered. Right below this widget, there is one button to copy text inside of the entry and another to paste text from the clipboard in to the Entry widget. In addition to using the "Copy" and "Paste" buttons, users can also use '''CONTROL-X''', '''CONTROL-C''', and '''CONTROL-V''' to cut, copy and paste text from widgets that implement the Editable interface. The meat of the work is done in short callbacks that are connected to the Copy and Paste buttons. The code for creating the UI has been included primarily for completeness and added clarity.
