Is there a python command for clearing the Houdini Console?

Not really in the Python shell (yet [sidefx.com]), but in the Textport you can use the word ‘clear’. Probably alias it to any shortcut you'd like, too.

Then is there any way to direct output to the console instead of the python shell? Things like print statements…

I use these two lines to clear the console

print ‘\n’ * 5000
print(“console cleared”)

works well for me. just put these in a new tool on a shelf.

cheers,
amit

we do the same, just print a lot of empty lines

even manually when testing ideas.
