ERRNO2 (File Not Found) when reading password from database (but 'list' works)

[wraeth]

Listing passwords in the database seems to work fine, and getting the password retrieves some details until it attempts to use subprocess.py - it reads some details out of the database then fails:

kp -d .ssh/keepassx.kdb -k .ssh/id_rsa get 3a219f52b8df2f443a965b9519d1b947

Looks like it's failing when it tries to copy the password to the clipboard. What platform are you running on?

[wraeth]

Currently running Gentoo with the following package versions:

dev-python/keepassx-0.1.0
dev-lang/python-{2.7.10,3.3.5,3.4.3}
x11-wm/awesome-3.5.6

Let me know if you want other details.

Additionally, perhaps the copy-to-clipboard function could be optional (if it isn't already - I haven't noticed an option to disable it)? Presumably this functionality doesn't get triggered when accessing a kdb through the API, but when working on a console (even from within X) I don't necessarily want/need the password copied to the clipboard.

This happens when xclip is not installed. It should be mentioned in the README i guess.
