Hello,
I use python on Mandrake 10.2 2005 Ltd edition. I am learning so i use
python interactively. How do i clear the screen in python??
I simply type clear on the Linux prompt and the screen clears there.
Is there a similar command in Python to clear the interactive screen??
Thanks

Without knowing what 'screen' you're talking about, it's hard to say. If
you mean clearing a terminal, you can call 'tput clear' or

Under Linux/UNIX system (on x86 at least) you can use the CTRL+L
combination to clear the screen.
I do not now similar for Windows and MACs.

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.

How to clear the screen? For example, in the two player game. One player sets a
number and the second player guesses the number. When the first player enters
the number, it should be cleared so that the second number is not able to see

Hi Iswor,
If I understand you correctly then your program is writing output to a

I don't know of any library methods for that, but you might just do:
