I don't know if it works on Windows, but at least in Linux pressing Ctrl-L will do exactly what you describe (as long as the REPL uses readline) On 17.09.2016 12:51, João Matos wrote:
Hello,
I would like to suggest adding a clear command (not function) to Python. It's simple purpose would be to clear the REPL screen, leaving the >>> prompt at the top left of the screen.
This is something very basic but also very useful for newbies learning Python from the REPL. After some trial and errors it is best to start with a clean screen. Clearing the screen helps clear your mind.
Historically it is a common command in interpreted languages.
Best regards,
JM
