You're trying to use ANSI escape sequences to move the cursor. Windows doesn't support those by default. To enable them, you could install the colorama module with pip install colorama in your terminal, then in Python:

import colorama
colorama.init()

If you've upgraded to Windows 10, you can enable support with this instead:

import ctypes
kernel32 = ctypes.windll.kernel32
kernel32.SetConsoleMode(kernel32.GetStdHandle(-11), 7)
