Aah, I figured it out. Spyder uses the scientific_startup.py script in the console STARTUP script to try to emulate some of the IPython commands. The %clear 'magic' provided does not work the same as the IPython equivalent, so in the Python shell you need to do:

>>> s = 'str'
>>> %clear s
>>> s
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 's' is not defined

clear in this case works on variables versus just clearing the screen as it does in IPython.

If it where me I would just stick to the IPython console.

    Are you in the Python console or the Ipython console?
