Depends on what you're printing on.

tty?
curses
os.popen('tput')

printer?
reportlab

and hopefully without including any external modules.

I suppose you can pick an output device and hard-wire the
escape sequences into your code.

It depends.

Under *NIX, have a look at the curses module.

Under Windows, Google for ANSI.SYS and read up on Escape Sequences, or check
out the curses for Windows implementation that's floating around somewhere on
the net, I don't know the URL.

HTH!

At least under Linux the ANSI color escapes should work too. Out of the
box.
