ipython clear screen prints code example

Example 1: clear screen python

Import os
 
os.system("clear") # Linux - OSX
os.system("cls") # Windows

Example 2: clear console in python

As you mentioned, you can do a system call:

For Windows
>>> import os
>>> clear = lambda: os.system('cls')
>>> clear()

For Linux the lambda becomes
>>> clear = lambda: os.system('clear')
