Oh that's interesting, I've not ever tried connecting to the DS from the Robot. I realize that FIRST states that various ports are bidirectional, but I would imagine that TCP connections from the robot to DS aren't done very often... I'll ping Kevin and ask him if that should work or not.

No one on my team uses Python, for better or worse. We have plenty of kids who eventually use it during Cyber stuff, but for FRC stuff we stick to either Java or (eventually) Web. I don't want to get into a language debate - it's just what our team knows and does. I'll check out the links you provided though.

No language debate intended.
The nice thing about pynetworktables2js is that although underneath the hood it uses python, to use it to create a dashboard you really only need to know HTML/JS and how to run a python script. However, it sounds like it isn't really what you're looking for either, as you wouldn't be able to write anything to disk without writing some python code.
