You could use PIL. Or you could use PythonMagick
(http://starship.python.net/crew/zack/pymagick/). Or you could handle it all
yourself (http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/mxr/gfx/2d-hi.html). I suggest using
PIL or PythonMagick. If you have a large variety of formats to handle then
PythonMagick might be a better choice.
