Subject: [Idle-dev] Clear Screen feature for IDLE
Message-ID: <BANLkTim1EEW92=4HFG1xSe1e7bLWGvWjyA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I think it would be awesome to have a "clear screen" feature in IDLE. In the
forums, they suggest this:

def clear():
   for i in range(60):
      print

But it places the cursor in the end of the screen, I would like the cursor
in the beginning of the window, just like when i start the IDLE.

Best regards,

Steve

Hi Steve,

An extension exists to do exactly what you want. Check out:

Subject: [Idle-dev] Print does not work.
Message-ID: <BANLkTik2sqL_ufu89g-sU4cyZOZzaw9s+w@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I installed version 3.2 TK Version 8.5 on an XP system.  Simple commands
such as a 1+1 and others work OK. However, when I enter print "hello/n", I
get the error message.  I think there is a path or environmental name that
is not set.  Can you advise me how to fix this problem?

>>> print "hello World!"
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> python -v
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#5>", line 1, in <module>
    python -v
NameError: name 'python' is not defined
>>> python -V
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in <module>
    python -V
NameError: name 'python' is not defined

Alright, you have two problems, none of them related to IDLE. First off,
the syntax for print in python 3 is print(string). Second, you were
trying to run shell commands from IDLE's python interpreter, which
doesn't work. You may be interested in the tutor list (tutor at python.org)
for basic questions.

Message-ID: <479219.35470.qm@web24003.mail.ird.yahoo.com>

Hi: 

I am learning Python on my own using a " Guide to Programming with Python" 
book.?Author of the book is Micheal?Dawson and I am using version 2.3.5 of 
python. ?When I try to run the code?I do?not get required results. The picture 
could not be loaded. I get trackback message regarding undefined module.The 
example from the book is as follows:

from liveswires import games

games.init(screen_width = 640, screen_height = 480, fps = 50)
wall_image = games.load_image("wall.jpg", transparent = False)
games.screen.background = wall_image

games.screen.mainloop() 

Can anyone please assist me. 

Thank you

This list is about development of IDLE. You post to python-list was the 
proper place for this question, and I believe you got a solution there.
