i have a python program which attempts to call 'cls' but fails: sh: line 1: cls: command not found
i tried creating an alias from cls to clear in .profile, .cshrc, and /etc/profile, but none of these options seem to work. my conclusion is that a python program that is executing does not use the shell (because it does not recognize shell aliases). is this correct? should i use a symbolic link? if so, where should i place it? what is the difference between aliases and symbolic links? if i execute a command like 'clear' to clear the screen, where does the shell look to find the command 'clear'? i'm using os x. thanks mp -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
