Python 2D image generation

Question

Dear experts,

What are some of the better libraries for image generation in Python? If I were to implement a GOTCHA (for example's sake), thereby having to manipulate an image on the pixel level, what would my options be? Ideally I would like to save resulting image as a low-resolution jpeg, but this is mere wishing, I'll settle for any common image format.

Thank you for your attention.

Answer 1

The Python Imaging Library (PIL) is the de facto image manipulation library on Python. You can find it here, or through easy_install or pip if you have them.
