Now we can run:

from os import clear
clear()

instead of:

import os

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

Not this way, sorry. The clear command is non-standard; some minimal systems don't include it at all.
Clearing the screen is not something the OS exposes. There might be a better place for such a command elsewhere, though.
