Unicode has line drawing characters [1]. win_unicode_console [2] allows
to print Unicode in cmd.exe. win_unicode_console and colorama will
probably conflict. You could look at the source to see how hard to
combine both functionalities.

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_character
[2] https://pypi.python.org/pypi/win_unicode_console

btw, blessings [3] provides an easy-to-use interface if you need to add
colors and move text in a terminal. It claims that it also supports
colors on Windows if used with colorama.
