Yes there is a port of the Borland Pascal conio library module 
available on
the Vaults of Parnassus.

Dunno how up to date it is though - it claims to work with Python 
2.2...

In a GUI go to X,Y is usually done in the context of a graphics
widget like a canvas. Most GUI toolkits offer such a method.

But in a GUI its less like the Pascal example in that you
normally go to a widget that has been created at a location.
The location may be specified as an X,Y location or more
commonly in a relative location using a layout manager.

HTH,
