Hmmm... What you're asking is a little os-specific.  I think you can use
the curses module to get at all the Unix platforms:

    http://python.org/doc/current/lib/module-curses.html

Curses gives you terminal independent access to the screen, which is nice.  
However, I don't have experience with it, but the page above has a link to
tutorial material.

However, I'm ignorant on how to do terminal control in Windows.

Hope this helps!
