FWIW: I tried PythonMagick for a while, but soon found that large or complex images caused it to consume excessive memory and sometimes crash, taking my application with it. I switched to the command line interface to isolate my application from problems in Graphics/ImageMagick. Everything ended up much more robust that way, and the time cost is small--it's on the order of milliseconds. Shane -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
