I'm on a GNU/Linux system.

import os
os.system('clear')

is one way to do it here, but let's face it - that's *way* too much typing just to clear the screen on occasion, so I just press Ctrl+L.

This works fine when running python interactively, using ipython, and in many other applications that can be run from within a *NIX terminal emulator. It probably won't work with IDLE, since that's a Tk app.

Hell I just use it for quickie testing of something, so I ctrl-d and then usually close that terminal window :P

That is a bit much typing for my taste
