Welcome to the python mailing list.

The first thing you'd have to specify is your environment.  Are you 
writing a gui program, and if so, with which toolkit (tk, wx, etc.).

Or are you writing a console program?  The simplest portable way is to 
issue 50 or so newlines, so things scroll beyond easy visibility. Of 
course, many terminal programs can easily scroll back, perhaps by using 
the mouse wheel.

If you want something better than that, you'd have to specify your 
Python version and Operating System.  Then somebody familiar with the 
quirks of that particular system can chime in.
