type() is a visual command, that writes something into the GUI-element,
that has focus and that returns 0 or 1 depending on success.

so
print type('v', KEY_CTRL)
will always print a 1 after having issued the command CTRL-V to the system (what ever that does in that moment)

when working with xlwt you are working against the internal structures
of an Excel sheet and not against the visual representation on the
screen. So you have to use the features of xlwt, to fill your sheet.

Hence the suggestion of dinev is correct:
after having issued a CTRL-C, you can programmatically access the clipboard content using
Env.getClipboard()

Title:
  type("v", KEY_CTRL) not pastng the value copied

Status in Sikuli:
  New

Bug description:
  I am trying to copy multiple cells from excel and paste it on a new
  excel file with the command type("v"+KEY_CTRL). It pastes the value
  "1" only. I checked this by print type("v"+KEY_CTRL) still getting 1
  only.

  click("1450733489461.png") # this is an image in the report which has
  the value HC00184829

  type("c", KEY_CTRL)  #above value copies correctly  in the excel sheet which is already on the screen
  but the following command fails.
  print type('v', KEY_CTRL)  # prints the value "1"

  also fails the following which is my actual requirement. It prints the
  value "1"(without double quotes) on cell(0,0)

  import xlwt
  book1 = xlwt.Workbook()
  sheet1 = book1.add_sheet("Sheet1",cell_overwrite_ok=True)
  print type('v', KEY_CTRL)
  sheet1.write(0,0,type('v', KEY_CTRL))
  book1.save("C:\\sikuli_applications\\bbq_patient.sikuli\\bbq_data.xls")

  
  I am using sikuli 1.1.0 on windows 7 32 bit
