Or maybe this slightly modified example comes closer to what you are
looking for:

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

def copy(string):
    def cp():
        return string
    copyfunc = (root.register(cp))
    return(copyfunc)

root.clipboard_clear()
root.clipboard_append(copy(b'foobar'), type='foo')

def paste(ev):
    clip = root.clipboard_get(type='foo')
    res = root.tk.call(clip)
    print('->', res, type(res))

root.bind('<F1>', paste)
root.mainloop()
