How to copy the path of a selected file in Window Explorer?

You can use the win32clipboard module .me.uk / pywin32-docs / contents.html "> PyWin32 (Most likely you already have it installed). The GetClipboardData () function (which is usually used for text) accepts a format specification parameter from the clipboard, in which case you can pass the value constant 15 (CF_HDROP) used to move / copy files by CTR + C and CTR + V by Windows. I've done a brief get_path_of_file_on_clipboard function to illustrate:

from win32clipboard import OpenClipboard, GetClipboardData, CloseClipboard

def get_path_of_file_on_clipboard():
    CF_HDROP = 15
    OpenClipboard()
    data = "No file was selected."
    try:
        data = GetClipboardData(CF_HDROP)
    except TypeError:
        print("ERROR: You must copy a FILE to the clipboard.")
    finally:
        CloseClipboard()
    return data

print(get_path_of_file_on_clipboard())

This function returns a string with the absolute path to the file that was passed to the clipboard (with CTR + C). Once you have obtained this path, simply adapt to your application with Tkinter (Just capture the CTR + V event and insert this string wherever you want).
