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.

The cls command only works when Python is executed within a Windows terminal. In other contexts (such as IDLE), the command doesn't work. |

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). |
