Hi there
A nice neat trick which is:
print '\n' * 100
Will print a hundred lines on the screen,thus shifting the cursor down
so the screen will seem to have been cleaned.
Or it's possible to implement these lines in a program:
import os, platform
def clear_screen():
if platform.system() == 'Linux': os.system('clear')
if platform.system() == 'Windows': os.system('cls')
clear_screen()
(Both them are excerpt from the Python Tips and Tricks published from
the Italian Python User Group).
Cheers
Ivan
