placing text at point on console
 

I'm trying to place text at a certain point on the console. But I can't
figure out any way to do this. For instance place a '@' at point 6,8.
Any hints?

(I'm trying to display a 'map'. Think nethack)

Thanks,
Bart

You didn't say which system you use. This is important information
because what you want to do is not system independent.

For Unixes/Linux, try the curses module:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/li...le-curses.html

import curses
s=curses.initscr()
s.addch(6,9,'#')
s.refresh()


For Windows, try the (non-standard) WConIO module:

import WConio
WConio.gotoxy(6,8)
WConio.cputs('@')
