Clear terminal in Python [duplicate]

Answer 1

A simple and cross-platform solution would be to use either the cls command on Windows, or clear on Unix systems. Used with os.system, this makes a nice one-liner:

import os
os.system('cls' if os.name == 'nt' else 'clear')

Answer 2

You could tear through the terminfo database, but the functions for doing so are in curses anyway.

Answer 3

If you wish to clear your terminal when you are using a python shell. Then, you can do the following to clear the screen

import os
os.system('clear')
