Hello,

I tried on Python 2.7.10 and Python 3.5.2 and Ctrl-L doesn't work on both.

I tried on 2 PCs with Windows 7 and none of them worked.

What is your Windows version? Are you trying on the cmd.exe console or PS?

Best regards,

JM

Hi all,

I just tried with this official Python binary:

Python 3.5.2 (v3.5.2:4def2a2901a5, Jun 25 2016, 22:01:18) [MSC v.1900 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

and CTRL-L for sure does clear the window. It just doesn't then move the prompt to the top, so you end up with a bunch of empty lines, followed by the prompt.

Hello,

Yes, Ctrl-L doesn't clear the screen on Windows.

Making Ctrl-L clear the screen would be a good solution (no need for a clear screen command).

Best regards,

JM

What is "it"? Are you talking about Ctrl-L to clear the screen?

Perhaps we should start by adding Ctrl-L as a standard way to clear the
Python REPL, in the same way that Ctrl-C is the standard way to
interrupt the interpreter regardless of whether you are using Linux, Mac
or Windows.

(Also, it seems a shame that Ctrl-D is EOF in Linux and Mac, but Windows
is Ctrl-Z + Return. Can that be standardized to Ctrl-D everywhere?)
