What is a "table", to you? It could mean anything from
something you intend to print, to a GUI-based representation
similar to a spreadsheet, to a simple two-dimensional array
of data in memory.

Platform? GUI framework, if you've chosen one? etc. etc.

I might suggest using wxPython, with a wx.Grid and wxPyPlot,
but given how little useful information you've provided,
that could well be far from suitable.

If you want to use existing tools, it is hard to beat a spreadsheet with a
scatter plot graph object.
If you are on the Microsoft side of the fence, Excel is perfect for this.
There is an easy to use MSCOMM32.OCX object to control the serial port.
This reduces your problem to moving the serial port data to an [x,y] column
that is attached to a scatter plot.

This is easy to do with Excel's built in VBA so I assume it would also be
easy to do with Python, given that you can use Python to manipulate the
Excel object model .

On the Linux/Unix side. Gnumeric seems to serve very well although I don't
yet have sufficient personal experience with it to know about the "gotcha's"
you might encounter. I am also guessing that the Open Office spreadsheet
would work too.
