[issue40711] Clearing the screen of IDLE interactive mode in Windows

[Terry J. Reedy]

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 with select-all (^A for me), backspace or del or control-X (to 
save to clipboard).

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.

[issue40711] Clearing the screen of IDLE interactive mode in Windows

[Sanmitha]

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.
