Command-line based clipboard tool for every command-line Ninja

Description

This is a clipboard tool for command-line heavy users, especially the users who are using only console mode in daily life. Traditional clipboard stores only 1 value at the same time, copycat doesn't but store as many as you could. (if you remember their name), you could store 1 value into your system clipboard(anonymously) or store many named records.

System Requirement.

• Supported operating systems:
  • Mac OS X 10.6 or above version
  • Linux with xclip installed
  • Windows (testing, we're both not familiar with Windwos, if you would add some support to Windows part, we will appreciate that. :)
• Python 2.5 or above version

(P.S. This script will only work on Macintosh system for now, because the concept of it is using this command to operate clipboard: pbcopy.)
