I've been looking for something to do this (below) in python at least on backend.

Big screen on wall with 6 or so boxes. Each box displaying data which updates in real time. Such as

  - scrolling list of source control commits
  - graph of busy/idle slaves
  - single big number, pending builds
  - graph of open ticket counts
  - etc
I can't tell if this is one of Pyxley's use cases?

I think Tipboard might be more what you're after:

I actually just implemented some thing very similar to this. You probably want to checkout Dashing [1] which has built in plugins for a lot of things already. It's pretty easy to work with as well.

And if the parent prefers doing it in python, there's pydashie [1], a python port of Dashing.

Dashing is great, but it's Ruby on the backend, not Python :)
It actually has a REST API for sending a dashboard data so you can pump in new data from Python or any language.
Yeah, well aware. I was only address this from GP:
