If you're on Linux, you could use the curses module. There may be 
a precompiled Windows version compatible with your Python version, 
or maybe not, but the Windows source is available, and you may be 
able to get it to work with your Python with some effort. Linux 
distros include curses, I think. For Windows curses, take a look 
at <http://adamv.com/dev/python/curses/>. You will understand why 
the phrase "Windows curses" is used, I expect.
