visualizing id, x, y, t data

I have the following vehicle data

vehicle_id, position_x, position_y, time 

The data represents the position of a vehicle at time 't' . The data is also available as a linear reference. I was wondering what's a simple way to visualize the vehicle movement as an animation? I would prefer a solution that I can integrate with python

EDIT The anima开发者_JAVA百科tion I plan on doing should be similar to the 2d one found in this video

What kind of animation did you have in mind? You can try PyGame for desktop app. They have a nice tutorial about this.

I'd imagine its best done on a map; consider integrating (Google) maps with a custom path representing the vehicle.

Use pygame for it.
