Full Screen Display
#1
I am completely new to Python so I don't know where to start. My requirement seems pretty straight forward. I have a file on a SCO UNIX box which contains a number which is never more than 3 digits. What I need is a program that will read this file and display the number, full screen, on a 800 x 600 resolution monitor. The program then needs to sleep for 60 seconds, then read the file again and display the new number.

Thanks in advance, Dave

Step one, you need a gui package (tkinter, wxpython, Qt5 ...)
then simple create a canvas of required size and display text in proper font.
