How to get copied clipboard text from Selenium using Python?

Question

I have a selenium python script that clicks a button and once the button is clicked some text is copied. I couldn't get the text through the code directly, but when clicking the button I verified manually that it does copy to the clipboard. So I have to now leverage the clipboard and get the text.

Here is my script

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

CHROMEDRIVER_PATH = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\chromedriver.exe"
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
# have to copy n paste the "user data" folder to a unique one otherwise they fight over each other
chrome_options.add_argument(r'user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\Selenium Data')
chrome_options.add_argument(r'--profile-directory=Profile 2')
chrome_options.add_experimental_option('excludeSwitches', ['enable-logging']) # ignore dumb USB errors
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options, service=Service(CHROMEDRIVER_PATH))

driver.get("url")

username_copy = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="rc-tabs"]/div/div[1]/div[2]/div[3]/div[1]/div[2]/div')
username_copy.click()

So far I have tried the following, but nothing is returned.

driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//*[@id="rc-tabs"]/div/div[1]/div[2]/div[3]/div[1]/div[2]/div').text

---

text = username_copy.click()
print(text)

Unfortunately, sending ctrl v command or any shortcut is not a solution because I want to pass this variable from python into a PowerShell script. Ideally I would like to figure out a way to accomplish this without the need to install additional python packages. All in all my goal is something along the lines of this:

username_copy = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="rc-tabs"]/div/div[1]/div[2]/div[3]/div[1]/div[2]/div')

username = username_copy.click()
run_Powershell(ps_script, username)

Appreciate any help in advance!
