[Image-SIG] Current libraries for image processing?

[jcupitt at gmail.com]

Other libraries have Python bindings, for example my library, vips:

vips aims to be fast and to be able to handle large images, so it may
not fit your needs very well. In scope it's somewhere between PIL and
NumPy.

The Ruby binding is currently well-maintained and the Python binding a
little unloved. The next version should have a new binding system
which will bring them all up to par, hopefully.
