well i am not doing any console i/o. Just simple one. i am trying to
clear the IDLE (one of python IDE distributed with the original
distribution) screen which is pretty easy but having to do
>>>import cls
>>> cls()
everytime is boring (2 lines of boredom!!) so what i want is to be
able to do just
>>>cls()
and nothing more or even less!! ;-)

yeah i have used the 'os' module's system() method but that wasn't what i meant.
