# Simple process Popen object
proc = subprocess.Popen([echo, '-n', my_combo_breaker], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
# Dumping standard out to a var
#proc = subprocess.Popen([echo, '-n', my_combo_breaker], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout.read().strip()
# Piping output of echo to pbcopy
#echo_out = subprocess.Popen([echo, '-n', my_combo_breaker], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
#subprocess.Popen(['pbcopy'], stdin=echo_out)
# Doing it sensibly and just pushing stdin (broken currently)
pbcopy = subprocess.Popen(['pbcopy'], stdin=subprocess.PIPE)
pbcopy.communicate(input=my_combo_breaker)
