Thus should be a FAQ somewhere...
Clearing the screen is terminal specific so Python doesn't have a single
way
to do it.
Since you mention Windows I'll assume thats what you are using and
suggest
you
simply use the CLS command via an os.system() call:
import os
os.system('CLS')
If you have Linux substitute 'clear' for CLS
Or as a last resort write your own:
def cls(rows=100):
for row in rows: print
If you use curses it has a couple of functions for clearing a window.
