The command line libraries I'm aware of that support windows are Blessed 
(curses-based), Rich, Asciimatics, and python-prompt-toolkit.

The whole FAQ entry should be reviewed for relevance.
Is it true that curses is not built by default?
Should third-party curses modules be recommended?
How do people develop text user interfaces on windows these days?

New submission from JMcB :

At 
https://docs.python.org/3/faq/library.html#is-there-a-curses-termcap-package-for-python
 it says:
For Windows: use the consolelib module.
And links to:
http://effbot.org/zone/console-index.htm
This link is dead. Also, a quick google search for consolelib doesn't yield any 
good results, and I've never heard of it myself.
