Hi folks,
If I'm only interested in linux and windows I know I can do
################################
import os
import platform
if platform.system( ) == 'Linux':
clear = 'clear'
else:
clear = 'cls'
os.system( clear )
################################
or something equivalent using os.name and friends, but was wondering
why there is no platform independent way (i.e. the platform dependence
is taken care of by the python stdlib) of clearing a terminal. Sure,
there are many different terminals and many different operating
systems but in many areas python managed to hide all these
complexities behind a well defined API.
Why was clearing a terminal left out?
Cheers,
Daniel
