Since it wasn't entirely clear exactly what you're looking for in your original post, I would also like to mention...
Roger Serwy has recently written an IDLE extension to clear the shell window's contents (without affecting the state of the underlying Python process). This is different from restarting the shell, which is what Jason was referring to, which actually starts a new Python process in which following commands will be run (but without clearing the shell window).
