About the Ideas category

Ideas

Would you like to change something in Python? This might be your feedback forum.

Use this Category if you want feedback on an idea that you’d like to see in a future version of Python. First, check the following:

  • is there a PEP with what you’re trying to do?
  • is there a topic about this here already?
  • is there a topic on the old python-ideas mailing list about this already?

An easy ClearScreen command: print(cls)

4

You can build your own by querying the terminal capabilities stuff in
curses (well, on UNIXy platforms).

But speaking for myself, I have a deep seated loathing for things which
gratuitously clear the screen. Perhaps I’ve booted too many "PC"s, whose
BIOSes have an truly obscene obsession with clearing the display.

I’m quite -1 on an easy-clear-the-screen.

The standard response to this is that not everything needs to be in the
stdlib, and that there’s probably some module on PyPI.org which provides
this if you are unwilling to roll your own.

Cheers,

You didn’t mention your request was for coders only…Aside the fact you don’t like ClearScreen, I understood nothing else you said.

The original post here was describing this forum category, it was not a prompt for people to send all their ideas as replies.

If you have a request for Python, please create a new thread. First make sure to search existing posts and the official docs to see if the idea is already present or discussed! If it’s not, then make a post explaining with some details what is the feature proposed.

Cats. We’re a bunch of cats. You are a cat herder. Good luck with that. :wink:
