I started a project where you can “log in” on a terminal (basically a Raspberry Pi with a touchscreen attached) with a wireless token (for time tracking).

What will be the best and fastest solution to display the status (basically a background picture and 2-3 texts changing depending on the status of the token) on the screen (fullscreen)? I tried it web-based with chromium, which is -very- slow…

It has to be easy to do http request and en-/decoding JSON – and please no C/C++.
Maybe python + wxwidgets?

    If you want easy/fast, and all you care about is http, JSON, and displaying an image, then I’d go with Tkinter and the standard library.

    You have import json for JSON, and httplib or urrlib2 for http requests. And for a fullscreen Tkinter widget, check out effbot.
