You have to get into the console modules to do this.
Python doesn't have built-in support for modifying the terminal.
PyCurses can be used if you're on Linux (and presumably OS X?)
from Mark Hammond's Win32all module, you can use Win32.Console.
Both of these are fairly complicated from a beginner's standpoint, so 
I'd advise that you just don't worry about it.
