Are there Python modules that allow a program to write to the screen?

"The screen" isn't really a viable target in a modern world, so it
depends heavily on what you're trying to do. Plotting diagrams sounds
like you might want matplotlib?

Try Python 3 instead - don't go for something that's already reached
the end of its life.

There are quite a few libraries available, but my first guess would be
matplotlib; and if you want something really fancy, manim can do
incredible things.
