title: How can I overwrite/print over the current line in Windows command line?
body: <p>On Unix, I can either use <code>\r</code> (carriage return) or <code>\b</code> (backspace) to overwrite the current line (print over text already visible) in the shell.</p>
  
  <p>Can I achieve the same effect in a Windows command line from a Python script?</p>
  
  <p>I tried the curses module but it doesn't seem to be available on Windows.</p>
