How to update status on pretty table in python?

Question

I am using python pretty table to print the status of each record on CLI. How to display the status updates on the CLI in the same table.

Example:

+--------------+---------+
| Jobs         |  Status |
+--------------+---------+
|  job1        |  FAILED |
|  job2        | SUCCESS |
+--------------+---------+

The jobs status will be updated by a thread. I want to display the updated status in the same table in CLI console.

Can you add some code? What have you tried? Maybe add an example of the output you want, so we can understand what you want better — DorElias, Sep 20 '15 at 09:18
You'll need to use some sort of terminal control library like [`curses`](https://docs.python.org/3/howto/curses.html), or a higher-level console UI framework like [`urwid`](http://urwid.org/). — Lukas Graf, Sep 20 '15 at 10:06

I found ascii code to move the cursor to the previous line. And I am using the below logic to achieve the purpose

number_of_records = len(records)  # number of jobs in a tables
total_lines = number_of_records + 3 + 1 # number of records + Borders + Header

if prev_lines != 0:
   for i in range(prev_lines):
      sys.stdout.write('\033[F')

prev_lines = total_lines

print status_table

Thanks :)
