3.5 and 3.6 only get security fixes.
#6143 proposes to add special mechanism to clear Shell. It is a low priority
for me as I very seldom want to, or if a editor is open, one can close the
shell and start over when running the editor file.
Clear an editor
Ezio Melotti added the comment:
The cls command only works when Python is executed within a Windows terminal.
In other contexts (such as IDLE), the command doesn't work.

New submission from Sanmitha :
Clearing the screen of IDLE interactive mode using the following code:
import os
os.system("cls")
It doesn't clear the screen in Windows. Actually these two statements have no
effect at all.
