    Clear in Python

    Hello everyone. I'm somewhat new to python and want to create an ASCII animation, how would I do a clear in the code itself to create frames. Thanks in advance, Jonah Lubin.

    You cold print a bunch of lines or you could look into a more advanced library such as ncurses.

    Though with an ASCII movie there is already so many lies of code it would be more streamlined if i just used a single line clear command.

    ncurses is probably what you're looking for.

    or you could use the os module to run the clear command, ncurses is better but this still works

    Code:
    import os
    os.system('clear')
