# 3 Top Python Commands to Clear Screen

Here are **three top commands** you [need to](https://srinimf.com/2022/03/07/7-need-to-know-python-pdb-debugger-commands/) **clear screen in Python**. And, I have posted a Video [how to](https://srinimf.com/2015/09/03/how-to-keep-command-does-not-disappear-in-tso-command-line/) use these commands.
