google for freeimagepy and you'll see freeimagepy.sf.net -> examples ->

(a very simple example. You'll find all the multipage examples on the
site or on the package)

import FreeImagePy as FIPY
F = FIPY.Image("image.tiff")
F.save("image.png")

I call directly the freeimage dll (os .so un linux, since it are
multiplatform) with ctypes. All the info and the download are on the
internet site.

If you have more question, ask me directly.
