Python itself does not include commands for this sorta thing, but
there are a lot of modules to handle whatever type of display you
need.

Hmmm, are you referring to a text display?
If so,
you can get python bindings for S-LANG...
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/interpreters/python-slang.html
...newt...
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/interpreters/python-newt.html
...and ncurses...
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/interpreters/pyncurses.html

These URLs will take you the Debian package pages, which contain links
to the original source tarballs.  I'm pointing you to "unstable",
refers only to Debian's binary packages, because that should be the
most recent source releases; you could use "testing" or "stable",
which may get you older releases of the source.

S-LANG is good for unix and win32, I'm not sure about the others.
ncurses is packaged with the most recent Python release (2.1).
