Trying to install module win32clipboard

I'm new to python and i'm trying to install win32clipboard to be able to use this code:

import win32clipboard
win32clipboard.OpenClipboard()
win32clipboard.SetClipboardText('testing 123')
win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()

# get clipboard data
win32clipboard.OpenClipboard()
data = win32clipboard.GetClipboardData()
win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()
print data
raw_input()

How do i exactly install the necessary module to be able to do so? I'm using python version 2.72.

For those still here 7 years later

run this in your shell or cmd (assuming you added python to PATH, otherwise do that first)

pip install pywin32

This module is part of pywin32 module.

To install:

  1. Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/
  2. Choose the latest build, e.g.: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20219/
  3. Download the installer for your system, e.g.: pywin32-219.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
  4. Run the installer.
  5. Use the Python you've installed it for to run your win32clipboard script.
