[Tutor] New to python: some advises for image processing tool

Excuse me for the mistake, this list is a little different with respect 
to Yahoo Groups. Below my comments:

I've read some documentation about this libraries, for now I think I'll 
use PIL(*), because it apparentely seems more similar to the approach I 
have just meet in the other programming language. On the other hand I 
think that starting with one or the other would be quitely unimportant 
for now.

I'm agree, I'm starting with an automatic-parser editor with IDLE.

Thank you very much for your help, I shall return telling you my 
progression.

(*) PIL seems to support FITS file manipulation from release 1.1.5a1

It seems enough for my purposes.
