PIL works fine in a stand-alone in general, but....

both ImageMagik and PIL are raster format packages. EPS is a vector 
format, so I think both PIL and ImageMagik use ghostscript to render the 
EPS for you, and I think they both use it as an external application, so 
the users of your stand-alone are going to need to have ghostscript 
installed.

Also, when using ImageMagik, are you using the python bindings? or 
calling "convert" as a system call?
