Is there a way in python to clear the output screen

Question

I'm working on a tictactoe game and the output gets really messy and untidy after some inputs by the user, so is there any library or something I can use to clear the output screen after some time. The only method I know of works only for jupyter notebook. I'm using pycharm.

So if you are publishing you could do a if and find the the platform then run the respective command – deateaterOG Mar 05 '22 at 11:20

import os

os.system("clear")
