I'm new to python and i'm trying to install win32clipboard to be able to use this code:

import win32clipboard
win32clipboard.OpenClipboard()
win32clipboard.SetClipboardText('testing 123')
win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()

# get clipboard data
win32clipboard.OpenClipboard()
data = win32clipboard.GetClipboardData()
win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()
print data
raw_input()

How do i exactly install the necessary module to be able to do so? I'm using python version 2.72.
