Fine! Thank you.

curses is very helpful, I'm attaching the code.
I see it has support for colors as well, but I haven't found any
tutorial that would explain how to use them.

Please note that this is just a draft, I'm not catching any
KeyboardInterrupt nor nothing.

"""#!/usr/bin/env python

class ColorTerm:
    def __init__(self, Mono = False):
	pass

    def __get_tput_color_value__(colorcode):
	from commands import getoutput
	return getoutput('tput setaf ' + colorcode)

    BLACK_FG = 	__get_tput_color_value__('0')
    RED_FG = 		__get_tput_color_value__('1')
    GREEN_FG = 	__get_tput_color_value__('2')
    YELLOW_FG = 	__get_tput_color_value__('3')
    BLUE_FG = 		__get_tput_color_value__('4')
    MAGENTA_FG = 	__get_tput_color_value__('5')

    def initstyle_message(self, msg, status = True):
        screen = self.curses.initscr(); self.curses.endwin()
        if status:

        else:

        spaces_count = ( screen.getmaxyx()[1] - (len(msg)+len(status_msg)) )
        return msg + ' '*spaces_count + status_msg

    print cc.initstyle_message('Lets party', False)
