Awfully sorry, I forgot to insert something:

import wx
import wx.lib.buttons as buttons

class Raam(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self,titel,pos,size):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, -1, titel, pos, size)
    def OnQuit(self, event):
        self.Close()
        
class App(wx.App):
    def OnInit(self):
        self.raam = Raam("Experiment with clipboard",(20,30), (450,340))
        self.SetExitOnFrameDelete(True) # Default. False: app loopt tot
wx.Exit()
        self.knop = wx.Button(self.raam, -1, "KNOP")
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.klipper, self.knop)
        self.raam.Show()
        self.SetTopWindow(self.raam)
        return True
        
    def klipper(self, event):
        latin1 =wx.TextDataObject("sm\xf8rebr\xf8d")
        print "Experiment with latin-1: %s" % latin1.GetText()
        if wx.TheClipboard.Open():
            wx.TheClipboard.SetData(latin1)
            wx.TheClipboard.Flush()
            wx.TheClipboard.Close()
app = App()       
app.MainLoop()
