clear window python console

1def clear(): 
2  
3    # for windows 
4    if name == 'nt': 
5        _ = system('cls') 
6  
7    # for mac and linux(here, os.name is 'posix') 
8    else: 
9        _ = system('clear')

2
3For Windows
4>>> import os
5>>> clear = lambda: os.system('cls')
6>>> clear()
7
8For Linux the lambda becomes
9>>> clear = lambda: os.system('clear')

1import os
2clear = lambda: os.system('cls')
