Python Client Does not clear screen in Windows cmd

[amaster507]

See screenshot above for example. I am Windows based, so this may or may not be specific to windows, idk.

The problem just progresses, if I enter another query and double return to send, then I get this same screen but now my cursor is on top of an existing line of text with more text below it, but that text is background and not editable. Not very user friendly and very hard to read.

Oh wow! Thank you for the catch. It looks like yes, this is specific to Windows. I'm working on it.

I don't have a Windows machine. Don't you mind if I'll ask you to check the results?

Sure, what do you want me to test?

Could you please check, if removing this line:

will make the process better?

It will not clear the screen but should stop rendering over the previous text.

@roman-right that does work,

Or I also tested that adding these two lines also work cleanly and keeps the console tidy.

import os
os.system('cls' if os.name == 'nt' else 'clear')

Nice! I'll check the rich doc to prove, that it doesn't break anything internal there and will add this as a fix today. Thank you!

Fixed in 0.1.1. Could you please try?
