That's what a script of mine does (it's also in Python):

Maybe have a look at my script, it might help.  It uses
Python's curses module to display graphical line characters
using the ACS feature (alternate character set).  This
is independent from the local (UTF-8, ISO8859, ASCII) and
works very well with terminals that support line drawing
characters, such as xterm, vt100 and so on.  When there
is no such support (dumb terminal, or not supported by
termcap, or stdout is a pipe), normal ASCII characters
are used instead.

Best regards
