What you need is a way to get selected text from wherever it comes. The
way to do this depends on your graphical environment. If you use X, i'd make a
a quick and dirty call to xclip -o, although there must be a pure python
implementation which in turn depends on the python framework you play
with (gtk/qt/wx/tk/...).

Short answer is : it depends on your system, and it may be easier and more
portable if you use a graphical toolkit.

cheers.
