There have been a few wrappers for ImageMagick over the last few years. There was once something called "PythonMagick", for example. However AFAIK, they are all currently defunct. There was a later version using Boost, but it apparently required a lot of system resources to compile for some reason, and I don't think I was able to. Apparently ImageMagick has gone through a lot of API changes and people get disgusted with supporting it (?). There is also, of course the Python Imaging Library (PIL) that competes with it pretty effectively for most use cases (of course ImageMagick has unparalleled image conversion support). If you really want ImageMagick, though, you might want to consider writing your own wrapper (perhaps using ctypes, now that it is included in the standard library). I have used 'popen' to run it as a separate process in the past. The 'subprocess' module would be the smart way to do that today, and that might be your fastest solution.
