Add/remove characters in python?

Question

I have two things I need this for, these should explain what I mean:

To have a 'shell popup' of sorts, like man does, that can be removed when done
To have a blinking ellipsis (...) for visual effect

Is there any standard Python way to do this? Could I 'unprint' the last line and reprint it?

I have no experience with it, but you may want to look at Python's interface to the curses library: http://docs.python.org/library/curses.html
