This post says the following should work:

import os
os.system('cls||clear')

Why doesn’t it work in the following code? It works when applied in the terminal but not in the script:

import os


def highest_bidder(bidders):
    highest = 0
    for key in bidders.keys():
        if bidders[key] > highest:
            high_bidder = {}
            high_bidder[key] = bidders[key]
            highest = bidders[key]
    return high_bidder


bidders = True
bids = {}
while bidders:

    name = input("what is your name? ")
    bid = int(input("What is yourt bid? "))
    bids[name] = bid

    more_bidders = input("Are there more bidders (yes, no)? ")
    os.system('clear||cls')
    if more_bidders == 'no':
        bidders = False

high_bidder = highest_bidder(bids)

for key in high_bidder.keys():
    print(f'{key} is the high bidder with a bid of {high_bidder[key]}')
