Could you document in the Readme whether you plan to support MacOS in the future or it will be a limitation?

Supporting macOS would be great, but unless I get my hands on a Mac or somebody with a Mac makes a pull request, it's not happening.

Just my 0.02$, as I was also looking for Mac support and the only thing I needed to do was copy some HTML into the HTML clipboard, I solved it like this (just leaving this here because it might help someone in the future):

import subprocess
import binascii
from sys import platform
if platform != "darwin":
    import klembord

html = '''<head>
<style>
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Title text</h3>
<p class=MsoNormal>Example, <b>Bold</b></p>
</body>'''

if platform == "darwin":
    hexvalue = html.encode().hex()
    command = f"echo 'set the clipboard to «data HTML{hexvalue}»'|osascript"
    #print(command)
    subprocess.run(command, shell=True)
else:
    klembord.set({'text/html': html.encode()})

So basically using Apple script (osascript) a lot of the functionalities are possible (although subprocessing to the shell might not be everyone's favourite option).

Btw. if anybody is wondering, this way you can generate Microsoft Word formatted clipboard content (you can use a tool like ClipSpy to reverse engineer the HTML clipboard contents generated by Word) on a client host machine with python and then paste it into a Windows VM that runs Microsoft Word.
