Is there anyway I can change a shortcut key that an application has under one of it's menus in Ubuntu. For example I'm running PyCrust and want it to clear the window when I press Ctrl+L.

Setting the gconf key /desktop/gnome/interface/can_change_accels to true will allow you to bind and unbind GTK+ menu items by hovering over the menu item and pressing the keystroke to bind, or Backspace to unbind.

Hard to say how you might accomplish that.
PyShell is a shell - a character-based application - so it runs in a terminal emulator. You don't say which terminal emulator you're using. It might be possible to get the Ctrl-L behavior from the terminal emulator itself rather than from PyShell.
Note that's not how bash and tcsh implement ^L handling - they handle it themselves internally.
So I guess I'm saying you'd have to start hacking on pyshell itself to implement this, and that there's no "end user" way to hook that up.

Oops my bad. I meant
PyCrust. This is a GUI based program. – Kredns – 2009-12-11T16:03:37.053So then I guess your best bet might be to ask over on http://www.wxpython.org/ how you might do this. The source to pycrust is over there as well, so just dive in and take a look.
