You can use the command shell:
Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. # with windows
  2. import os
  3.  
  4. os.system("CLS")
or
Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. # with linux
  2. import os
  3.  
  4. os.system('clear')
or
Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. # if you don't mind that the cursor is at the bottom
  2. print '\n' * 25
Actually, the best way is to design your program so you don't need the clear the screen.
