While looking for something else I stumbled across this module in the Vaults of Parnassus: WConio http://newcenturycomputers.net/projects/wconio.html Its a port of the old Borland turboC conio library to Python and there is a version for Python versions up to 2.4. Only works for DOS windows so far as I can tell, but thats what we wanted... It includes amongst many others the functions: WConio.clrscr() clears the screen and homes the cursor. WConio.cputs(string) prints a string starting at the current cursor position. WConio.getch() retrieves a keystroke from the console WConio.gettext(left, top, right, bottom) copies characters and attributes from the screen coordinates given and returns them in a string buffer. Usually used with puttext() below. WConio.gotoxy(x, y) positions the cursor at the given coordinates. etc...
