PySimpleGui - how do you remove text from input text box

How do you clear text in an input box PySimpleGui? I'm trying window ['-INPUT-'] ('') but I recieve a key error. I want it so that the text in the box gets replaced with an empty string after each iteration so the user doesn't have to delete the text themselves.

Ah!

There is a parameter meant specifically for this purpose.

Set do_not_clear=False

import PySimpleGUI as sg

layout = [  [sg.Text('Input element that clears after every read')],
            [sg.Input('Initial text', key='-I-', do_not_clear=False)],
            [sg.Button('Go'), sg.Button('Exit')] ]

window = sg.Window('Input auto-clear', layout)

while True:             # Event Loop
    event, values = window.read()
    if event in (None, 'Exit'):
        break
    print(event, values)
window.close()
