> As the legacy cmd.exe can be easily replaced, that leaves python.exe. python.exe is a console application, which attaches to a console session. Since Windows 7, each console session is hosted by an instance of conhost.exe. The CMD shell (cmd.exe) is a console application, the same as python.exe. It doesn't matter whether Python allocates a new console or inherits it from another process such as cmd.exe. > Likely needs to be configured via readline or its analog used under > Windows. pyreadline implements readline for the Windows console API via ctypes. It supports Ctrl+L to clear the screen, including the scrollback. PSReadLine in PowerShell implements Ctrl+L without clearing the scrollback. That's a better example to follow if someone wants to take up the ambitious project of supporting readline for Windows in the standard library. ---------- nosy: +eryksun _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42771> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
