This link offers a series of links for console IO... http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2005-January/303984.html Among them is a link to the 'wcurses' module that has been relocated here: http://adamv.com/dev/python/curses/ It doesn't actually work in the console, but it seems as though you can program towards one API. There is always cygwin + Python + ncurses. - Josiah -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
