Assuming you use Tkinter for the GUI then I suggest a Label 
object with an embedded image. Use any paint program to 
produce the colored LED graphics you need in GIF format 
and switch these in the image object that you embed in 
the Label.

Sounds more comnplex than it is. Grab my hangman game 
from Useless Python and see how I changed the Hangman 
states for an example.

If that didn't make any sense then shout and we'll 
start from closer to the beginning! :-)
