is there python image lib that does imagemagick?

[Xah Lee]

is there a python image library that does pretty much what imagemagick
does?

all i need is for converting png/jpg, and scaling images. No need
other fancy things imagemagick does.

i know there's a python wrapper for imagemagick, but i need
independent ones that doesn't require shell calls. Basically i have a
python script that works in os x that process a dir of html files and
generate thumbnails. I'm porting to Windows and wish to get rid of
imagemagick dependence.

Thanks.
