Hello,
I use python on Mandrake 10.2 2005 Ltd edition. I am learning so i use
python interactively. How do i clear the screen in python??
I simply type "clear" on the Linux prompt and the screen clears there.
Is there a similar command in Python to clear the interactive screen??

Without knowing what 'screen' you're talking about, it's hard to say. If
you mean clearing a terminal, you can call 'tpu

Hi Iswor,
If I understand you correctly then your program is writing output to a

I don't know of any library methods for that, but you might just do:

or
os.system("clear")

It clears the screen by scrolling all the characters out of sight at
the top of the terminal window. So the screen is blank, but not cleared
in the sense that I mean it. The behavior I want is for the display to
