Hi there A nice neat trick which is: print '\n' * 100 Will print a hundred lines on the screen,thus shifting the cursor down so the screen will seem to have been cleaned. Or it's possible to implement these lines in a program: import os, platform def clear_screen(): if platform.system() == 'Linux': os.system('clear') if platform.system() == 'Windows': os.system('cls') clear_screen() (Both them are excerpt from the Python Tips and Tricks published from the Italian Python User Group).
