This works on the Windows machine I'm 
using; I don't have a Unix box handy:

Change:
    print h, ":", m, ":", s
to:
    print h, ":", m, ":", s, '\x0d',
or:
    print "%02d:%02d:%02d\x0d" % (h, m, s),

By putting a comma at the end, the 
cursor doesn't move to the next line.
By making the carraige return character
the last thing to print, the cursor 
moves to the start of the current line.
The next time the time is displayed, it 
overwrites the previous value, making it
look like it stays in place.

If you're running inside of an IDE, I 
have no idea if this will work for you.
