Curses is a C module, and there is a Python interface to it.   Jython 
would have to find an equivalent Java library.  Still, isn't the case 
that the terminal color output commands are pretty standard?  They could 
just be stuck into the output string.  Doing more fancy things, like 
moving the cursor arbitrarily, probably differ but the OP just mentioned 
colors.
