Clearing IDLE's shell for Python

Question

So I'm doing an MIT OCW assignment where I am creating a functional game of hangman. I got everything working. In IDLE, I have to hit F5 to run the code in the shell. I don't know any other way to run it, but that's not the big deal to me.

The main problem: the shell gets absolutely full of responses. It just keeps stacking up with more and more output. So, my question. Is it possible to put in a piece of code to clear the shell? Or do I just have to deal with it for now?

EDIT: To clarify: I need the prints for each cycle. Every time the user guesses a letter, it prints something like this:

2 guesses remaining

Possible answers: abdfghijkpquvwxyz

Guess a letter:g

That letter is not in the word!

_ o_ _ _ tr_

I just want to know if there is a way I can clear what is in the shell before the next 'cycle' is printed.

您可以关闭它，然后在要运行该程序或从终端运行它时仅打开一个新程序，并在退出外壳后使用use clear
