Once upon a time, there were indeed many different kinds of actual physical 
terminals.

However, they are all extinct now. All that’s left is software emulations. 
And the one emulation they all have in common is the DEC VT100.

So just assume you’re displaying on one of those:

    sys.stdout.write("\x1b[2J")
