A Python take on "Programming Web Graphics with Perl and..."

Hi all,

I've been reading the recently published book,
"Programming Web Graphics with Perl and Gnu Software"
by Wallace, from O'Reilly books.

It's an excellent collection of topics for generating
GIF's, PNG's etc with ImageMagick, The Gimp, and 
various Perl postscript modules.

As the title suggests though, all the programming and
scripting tasks are in Perl.

I know there's a Python topic guide for web programming,
but I was wondering if there's an equivalent set of 
Python libraries for doing everything the book contains
but with Python?

In my reading so far, that's:

 - Using GD for generating GIFs
 - PerlMagick for controlling ImageMagick
 - Charts and graphs with GIFgraph
 - Scripting the Gimp
 - Creating Postscript documents via Perl

Thanks,
