Usually thats done using curses which allows ypu to address the cursor on the screen using coordinates. However for a single line you can fake it using control codes for the specific terminal. For example (as any vi user knows!) Ctrl J is line feed, Ctrl H is backspace Ctrl G is beep(I think?), Ctrl U is delete to start of line, etc You can use Ctrl H as a way of backspacing on the same line to the point you want then inserying the updated text, or just use Ctrl U to delete the line and rewrite it. You need to write to sys.stdout to do this properly and of course don't ever write a newline until you are done!
