Clear python shell within script

Question

I am trying to create a utility program, but after the user types in the passcode and goes to the main menu, the passcode is still there and is show right above it. I asked this question before, but users gave me a command instead of something the script does for you. I was wondering if there is something I can type into my script that can clear the python shell without having to directly type it into the shell.

Answer 1

您应该使用getpass读取密码而不回显密码，这是安全读取密码的推荐方式。

Answer 2

If you are using Linux:

import os
os.system("clear")

if you are using windows:

import os
os.system('CLS')

Note: you should really not do something like this with passcodes for security reasons, but this does clear the shell
