How to clear the interpreter console?
There are a few ways to clear the interpreter console in Python, depending on the specific environment you are using. Here are a few examples:
- Using the
os
module:
import os
os.system('cls' if os.name == 'nt' else 'clear')
This code uses the os.system()
function to clear the console. The command used to clear the console depends on the operating system; cls
is used for Windows, and clear
is used for Mac and Linux.
- Using the
subprocess
module:
import subprocess
subprocess.run('cls' if os.name == 'nt' else 'clear', shell=True)
This code uses the subprocess.run()
function to clear the console. The command used to clear the console is the same as in the previous example.
- Using the
clear_output()
function from theIPython.display
module:
from IPython.display import clear_output
clear_output()
This code uses the clear_output()
function from the IPython.display
module. This method works only in IPython or Jupyter Notebook environments.
Please note that the above code snippets will work on most of the platforms, but might not work in all the environments. So, it's always better to check the compatibility of the code snippet with the platform you are working on before using it.
