Terry J. Reedy added the comment: 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

use CTRL+L for clearing the screen

Hi, I'm working on an interactive script. With raw_input user input is read and the script produces some output and offers the prompt again. I would like to add a clear screen feature, which would be activated with CTRL+L. How to do that? Another thing: raw_input waits until Enter but I'd like to

Re: Clearing the screen

you could always use ANSI escape codes: print \\033[2J for a screen clear, or print \\022[2j \033[0;0H to clear and reset the way os.system('clear') would work. check out http://www.termsys.demon.co.uk/vtansi.htm Seems like all that mud programming came in handy after all. Graham. --

Re: Clearing the screen

It clears the screen by scrolling all the characters out of sight at the top of the terminal window. So the screen is blank, but not cleared in the sense that I mean it. The behavior I want is for the display to be effectively erased and ready to receive the next wave of data -- like you would do

Re: Clearing the screen

No guessing needed. If I just use os.system(clear) on its own, no problem. Also, if I use the magic formula you gave on its own, that works to. But in the app, (see below), neither command works. I'm missing something obvious, but I'm... missing it. def run(self, userinfo): Time when to

Re: Clearing the screen

Hi Iswor, If I understand you correctly then your program is writing output to a console/terminal window and you want to clear that window. I don't know of any library methods for that, but you might just do: os.system(cls) #for windows or os.system(clear) #for unix Not the most advanced
