Well you can do it with system Lib. If you’re using linux or mac :

system('clear')

Windows :

system('cls')

This a general function :

from os import system, name 

def clear(): 

    # for windows 
    if name == 'nt': 
        _ = system('cls') 

    # for mac and linux(here, os.name is 'posix') 
    else: 
        _ = system('clear')
