Newbie question - clearing screen @ interactive prompt

[Kaizer]

Hello,

I use python on Mandrake 10.2 2005 Ltd edition. I am learning so i use
python interactively. How do i clear the screen in python??

I simply type "clear" on the Linux prompt and the screen clears there.

Is there a similar command in Python to clear the interactive screen??

Thanks in advance,

Have a great day,
Kaizer.
