Like others I don't really understand what you mean by a page.
But in general you don't need to do that. If you are using the Python prompt
 >>>

You just keep adding stuff and it will scroll up.
If you just want some clear space hit return a few times.
Or as already suggested:

print '\n' * 50   # prints 50 newlines...

But it all depends on what tool you are using to enter your Python
code. You may have something odd that has a fixed screen but if so
I've never come across it!
