Yes, certainly, PIL is the way to go.  But beyond that, if you are going 
to do any fancy manipulation of the array of pixels (e.g., image 
processing, image recognition, convolution, ...), then I'd recommend 
numpy for the array manipulation.  (And perhaps even the full-blown 
scipy.)  Numpy can easily access and manipulate the pixel arrays 
produced by PIL.  It's an awesome combination.
