Is it possible to get input in the middle of printed strings in python?

I want to make the output to look like this:

******************
Enter your age: 
******************

But the input would appear in the middle of the strings. eg.

******************
Enter your age: 15
******************

Is it possible to get this done by using Python 2.7.12?

Based on this answer, What can I use to go one line break back in a terminal in Python?, it is really terminal-dependent. I have tried on the console of Windows 10, and it seems that this is not possible.

However, it is possible to move the cursor one character before/after another on the same line using the escape character \b

You could use:

age = 15
print "******************"
print "Enter your age: %s" % age
print "******************"

Either that, or:

age = 15
print "******************Enter your age: %s******************" % age

I'm guessing it's the first version, but your syntax of the question is wrong, the two options look the same.
