Any way to clear pythons IDLE window?
The cls and clear are commands which will clear a terminal (ie a DOS prompt, or terminal window). From your screenshot, you are using the shell within IDLE, which wont be affected by such things. Unfortunately, I dont think there is a way to clear the screen in IDLE. The best you could do is to scroll the screen down lots of lines, eg:
print (n * 100)
Though you could put this in a function:
def cls(): print (n * 100)
And then call it when needed as cls()
os.system(clear)
works on linux. If you are running windows try os.system(CLS)
instead.
You need to import os first like this:
import os
