Clearing the Interpreter

There are multiple solutions to clearing the Python interpreter.

With os

With the os module, the code is as follows:

import os
os.system("clear")

The os.system() function will perform the applicable shell command with the default interpreter, often as /bin/sh.

With clear

To install the clear module:

pip install clear

After the clear module is successfully installed, the initial functions will be clear.clear() and the os module functions wrapped under clear.os. To clear the interpreter, you must type clear.clear() (with no arguments).
