[Tutor] Clearing the Console Screen

There is no correct way. Every console is different so you have 
to adapt.
That having been said Fred Lundh has written a console module 
that tries to hide the diffeent trminal types in a common set 
of commands - you can download it from his site.

The other ways are:

Unix/LInux/MacOS/BSD:

os.system('clear')

DOS/Windows console:

os.system('CLS')

Generic:

print '\n' * 100 # a 100 line screen...

Or you could find the control codes for your screen
and print them as octal character codes...

HTH,
