clear ipython console code example

Example 1: how to clear the console python

def clear(): 
  
    # for windows 
    if name == 'nt': 
        _ = system('cls') 
  
    # for mac and linux(here, os.name is 'posix') 
    else: 
        _ = system('clear')

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')

Example 3: python clear console

import os

def clear():  # this function will clear the console
    command = 'cls'  # cls is for windows
    if os.name != 'nt':  # if it isnt windows it will use clear
    	command = 'clear'
    os.system(command)
    return 0
  
# example usage:
name = input('whats your name?')
clear()
print('your name is: ' + name)
