This was possible because QBASIC knew what kind of screen it was
working with, Python can't tell that reliably since it runs on
many operating systems.
The best way is probably to use the os.system() call to clear the
screen via the OS. Thus on DOS its
os.system('CLS')
on Linux
os.system('clear')
Failing that you can write a cls function:
def cls():
print '\n' * 100
