the CrackCode extension is no longer available, for licensing reasons.

assuming that "im" contains a single feature (represented by non-zero 
pixels), the following function should do the trick:

def get_centroid(im):
     sx = sy = n = 0
     x0, y0, x1, y1 = im.getbbox()
     pix = im.load()
     for y in range(y0, y1):
         for x in range(x0, x1):
             if pix[x, y]:
                 sx += x
                 sy += y
                 n += 1
     return float(sx) / n + 0.5, float(sy) / n + 0.5

on my machine, the above can process about fourty 512x512 grayscale 
images per second.
