can't help much with the details but have you checked out the matplotlib
library? http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/ Its an excellent python plotting
library. As I recall there's a sample to do with realtime updating of data
from an ECG.

As for whether python is the language to use ... fwiw ... if you're a
programmer then it is a no brainer to use, has a wealth of library support
and has a fantastic community to help you out ... and if your not a
programmer .... need I say more.
