Clearing the screen

[Jeff Epler]

I don't know about idle, but the "real" python supports the
PYTHONSTARTUP environment variable.
   PYTHONSTARTUP
      If  this is the name of a readable file, the Python commands in
      that file are executed before the first prompt is displayed  in
      interactive  mode.  The file is executed in the same name space
      where interactive commands are executed so that objects defined or
      imported  in  it  can be used without qualification in the
      interactive session.  You can also change the  prompts sys.ps1 and
      sys.ps2 in this file.
