So basically, the tiles that appear on the mirror are modules that you can customise. There is a whole library of modules that you can download and put onto your mirror. Sadly the modules need to be written in Javascript, which makes life difficult for me to do having not the faintest idea how to write in js - and no time to learn!

Luckily however, there is this: MMM-JsonTable. Which I can use to display the output of a python program as long as I output in a JSON format. JSON is essentially a very lightweight way of carrying data, which is stored in sort of a dictionary form (i.e. KEY: VALUE) so all i have to do is write a program that outputs values I want in a JSON file, then setup MMM-JsonTable to read that JSON and display it on the screen! Easy!
