Python / GTK error when trying to use pyperclip.copy() in Debian 9

Question

I'm a complete novice in programming, I've searched the bellow error in google in different ways but without luck of finding reasonable results.

My code is basically trying to:

pyperclip.copy(str(DICTIONARY[KEY]))

My invocation of the program in the command line is:

python3 ./PasswordManager.py blog

Where "blog" is the "key" of the above function.

And these are the errors I'm receiving:

These are just warnings which can be ignored. Did your program work as expected? — Michael Butscher, Jan 21 '19 at 13:02
No, the program was meant to copy the dictionary value for that key into my clipboard, which is actually empty. — Gabz, Jan 21 '19 at 13:08
@MichaelButscher I found the answer in another question here. Thanks for the support. — Gabz, Jan 21 '19 at 13:17
