The idea of adding some kind of clear_screen() function in the os or shutil module was discussed extensively on python-ideas a few months ago: https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/thread/EWQ2BOL3WVZAU2V2MT3HLXN3AEBHANNZ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/thread/N2G5MDPST6IMUQCK6LLAUOVIJIOOC2XJ I would not want to clear the terminal scrollback buffer, in which case the implementation in Windows would need to use the console API and/or VT sequences instead of the CMD shell's CLS command.
