Currently, on a Windows machine, the clipboard contents is lost when the root is closed. This, therefore requires you to keep the IDLE instance open until after the copy has been complete (particularly annoying when copying between different IDLE instances). The solution is to pipe the tkinter clipboard contents to "clip.exe" (built-in to Windows) which will preserve it after root closure.
