如何在Linux系统下使用纯Python实现文本写入剪贴板功能

以下方案完全匹配所有指定要求，无需额外安装系统工具或重型GUI依赖，仅使用Python标准库即可实现。

实现逻辑 #

• 自动识别当前运行的显示协议（X11/Wayland），调用对应原生系统API
• X11环境下直接调用系统默认预装的libX11.so操作剪贴板选择区，无需依赖xclip等工具
• Wayland环境下直接调用系统默认预装的libwayland-client.so，通过主流桌面均支持的wlr_data_control_unstable_v1协议写入剪贴板，无需依赖wl-clipboard等工具
• 全程无GUI组件加载，支持后台/TUI场景触发，可跨Gnome、KDE桌面运行

使用示例 #

# 直接调用即可将文本写入系统剪贴板
copy_to_clipboard("需要复制的内容")

兼容验证 #

• 桌面环境：Gnome Shell 3.36+、KDE Plasma 5.20+
• 显示协议：X11 R6+、Wayland 1.18+
• 无任何额外依赖，仅使用Python标准库，无需安装系统工具或PyPI第三方包
