While we're on the subject, I recall from Perl's clipboard module a
function which waits for the clipboard to change. The Python module
doesn't have this, and I'm not sure how I would implement it. (It's
not the sort of thing which is needed very often, I guess, but I have
a specific application which would be cleaner with it...) I think I
need a clipboard viewer, with a hidden window to receive notification
messages. But it sounds quite messy to implement. Two questions -
first, are all the pieces available in win32all to implement this
myself, and second, would it be worth adding a method like this to
win32clipboard?

Thanks,
Paul Moore
