It's not a solution to your problem, but why aren't you using
CF_UNICODETEXT, particularly if you're using python 3? And if you're
not, utf8 is the incorrect encoding, you should be using encoding='mbcs'
to interact with the CF_TEXT clipboard.
Anyway, to match behavior found in other applications when pasting from
the clipboard, I would suggest using:
if s.contains('\0'): s = s[:s.index('\0')]
Which will also remove non-null bytes after the first null (but if the
clipboard contains these, it won't be pasted into e.g. notepad).
