I am sure Python is the way to go - But I have no idea how to start.
What do I need to install? How do I make a PyQt APP to run? How do I port it to the N900, and how do I access on N900 API to get the information I want.
Unfortunately, Qt desktop widgets are an area where we are thin *at the moment*. Qt4.6, which promises serious improvements in this area will be released to the general public soon via an OTA upgrade. When that happens, we'll of course release the adequate python bindings ASAP and it will be happy hacking land. Until then, I suggest playing with standalone PyQt applications which work fairly well (try the PyQt4 Demo package for examples).
