Well, you'll probably want to use curses (or ncurses), so that it isn't
console-specific. It's been a while since I've programmed for it (in C), but
essentially you can get a text interface which is portable across terminal
types. That way, it should behave within the console, xterm, or whatever. If
there is Python support for it, it would be some sort of curses module, so
look for that.
