It only comes standard with Unix.
There is a DOS version but with limited functionality and I
couldn't get it to work at all on one of my PCs.

Fred Lundh(?) has a generic console module that might do what 
you want and the msvcrt module also has a few DOS box routines.
Try a search on Google groups for python + console and 
you should unearth a URL.
