Unicode has line drawing characters [1]. win_unicode_console [2] allows to print Unicode in cmd.exe. win_unicode_console and colorama will probably conflict. You could look at the source to see how hard to combine both functionalities. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_character [2] https://pypi.python.org/pypi/win_unicode_console btw, blessings [3] provides an easy-to-use interface if you need to add colors and move text in a terminal. It claims that it also supports colors on Windows if used with colorama. [3] https://pypi.python.org/pypi/blessings/ -- Akira -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
