you can use the keyboard module instead:

it can be installed with:

pip install keyboard

here is the code if you want to use it:

import keyboard,time
print("Select text you want to copy...")
time.sleep(1)

keyboard.press("ctrl+c")
print("ctr+c pressed...")
print("go to a place you would like to paste on")

time.sleep(1)
keyboard.press("ctrl+v")
print("ctrl-v successfully pressed...")
print("Program finished with status 0\nPress enter to exit...",end='')
input()

when the program runs it gives you 1 second to select the text, and 1 second to go to the page you want to paste into.
