Hi JM,
Yes indeed, I have that installed.
I was unaware it activates itself in the normal interpreter.
(I have it installed because IPython asks for it).

Hello,
You must have pyreadline installed (it isn't installed in the default CPython distribution).
Best regards,
JM

Hi JM,
Windows 7 Enterprise "Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]"
I am running Python directly from the shortcut created on installation. But starting it from cmd.exe has the same effect.
Codepage is 437 , this may be relevant?
I just tried it on a Windows 10 PC, there it has the same effect.

: 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

Hello,
It doesn't work in Windows.
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?)
