Keep terminal (console) content always starts on top

Question

I have a lot of content in terminal, books descriptions. When I use:

books_text = """Start of text.. end of text."""
print(books_text)

I just see on terminal always end, start is hidden on top, that I can't see.

So, the question, how to print content (with python code commands, statements), that starts from top . Then I can scroll it bottom.

Thanks.

I doubt this scrolling is a function of python code - it is a function of terminal window. — M. Prokhorov, Jun 19 '17 at 11:38
@M.Prokhorov, I need the same solution as `git log` command, where i can see all my commits from start to end of window terminal. — Dmytryi Striletskyi, Jun 19 '17 at 11:41
@DmytryiStriletskyi: try : Right click in the terminal -> preferences -> go to Profiles tab -> go to scrolling tab -> increase scrollback — seralouk, Jun 19 '17 at 11:41
@SerafeimLoukas, I need to print text, that I can make dynamically from code and print it in loop, for example. And it need to be started from one `python script.py` without any manually settings from user. — Dmytryi Striletskyi, Jun 19 '17 at 11:44

Try to increase the scroll buffer in the profile preference for the terminal application.

It sould be in : Edit -> Profile preferences -> Scrolling
