Code to clear console and variables in Spyder

Question

Tried many suggestions to clear console and variables in Spyder using code not CTRL+L but they do not work.

wondering any effective suggestion what

Answer 1

(Spyder maintainer here) This code both clears the console and removes all variables present on the namespace at the same time:

try:
    from IPython import get_ipython
    get_ipython().magic('clear')
    get_ipython().magic('reset -f')
except:
    pass

It also has the advantage that it works inside and outside Spyder.

Note: Right now this approach generates an error in the console after it's run. We'll fix that error in the next Spyder version (3.3.4), to be released in March/2019.

Answer 2

The simplest way that I have come across to clear the Spyder console programmatically is:

print("\033[H\033[J") 

From Link and suggested by Denis Rasulev .

print("\014")

Also works.
