Also you can add colors like so:
(code)
# change color in the python.exe console display (Windows)
# color is a two digit hexadecimal number
# the first digit is the background
# the second digit is the foreground (text)
# 0=black 1=blue 2=green ... to E=yellow F=white
import os
os.system("color F2") # green(2) text on white(F) background
(code)
NOTE: This method of colors are only known to work on Windows
Further color codes here: http://wiki.vg/File:Colors.png

Also, they can make animations.
How? You say.
(code)
import time
import os

def cls():
    os.system(['clear','cls'][os.name == 'nt'])
# Also is very useful for other things, it clears the console screen in windows for Python.
# Note: I believe this might be Windows only as well, if it doesn't work, please Google the Mac & Linux ver.

print('O')
time.sleep(0.125)
# 8 Frames Per Second, because 1 = a seconds, and .125*8 = 1
cls()
# Clears the screen, as defined above.
print(' o')
time.sleep(0.125)
cls()
print('  O')
time.sleep(0.125)
cls()
print('   o')
time.sleep(0.125)
cls()
print('    O')
time.sleep(0.125)
cls()
print('     o')
time.sleep(0.125)
cls()
print('      O')
time.sleep(0.125)
cls()
print('       o')
time.sleep(0.125)
cls()
print('        O')
time.sleep(0.125)
cls()
print('         o')
time.sleep(0.125)
cls()
print('          O')
time.sleep(0.125)
cls()
print('           o')
time.sleep(0.125)
cls()
print('            O')
time.sleep(0.125)
cls()
print('             *')
time.sleep(0.125)
cls()
print('             #')
time.sleep(0.125)
cls()
print('              0')
time.sleep(0.125)
cls()
