I need python code to do this. It is going to be run on a someone else's shared host web server, security and performance is an issue. So I would rather not run stuff via popen. I also need something that is easy to install. (either easy_install or a distro package) I just looked at what it takes to install PythonMagick: Requists for installation is: boost boost-python python 2.5 Magick++ (>= 6.2) and for building: pkg-config libtool make That is looking like maybe "not easy to install" so I need to make an easy_install-able .tgz or some other way of making the image.
