I am trying to make a stopwatch where I use os to clear the terminal for the ticking numbers, but os.system('cls') does not work on idle or on mac. Are there any alternatives I can use? I usually use repl because I am doing this for class.

1Hi John, `os.system('cls')` is specifically for Windows, for Mac have you tried using `os.system('clear')` instead? – API_sheriff_orlie May 02 '20 at 05:51

Yes, os.system('clear') was not working either. I appreciate the response! – John John May 02 '20 at 21:22

os.system('clear') is the alternative for macOS and repl, however on repl you could also import replit and then call replit.clear() to clear the terminal.
