Question #194165 on Sikuli changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/194165

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
xReader = Env.getClipboard()
for line in xReader:
    print line

lets look at it step by step:
- xReader contains a string as result from Env.getClipboard()
- a string is a list of characters
- for x in aList: loops through the list setting x to every list element one after the other

conclusion:
since xReader is a list of characters, the loop produces one printout for each character.

If you expect "lines" to be in your string coming from the clipboard,
they should have some line breaks (e.g. \n), that can be used to split
the string into "lines":

# we expect \n as line break
xReader = Env.getClipboard()
for line in xReader.split("\n"):
     print line

will do what you want, even if it is only one line without the line
break.
