PIL (Python Imaging Library) is the most widely-used general-purpose image library. For more advanced tasks, the usual solution is to use PIL to load/save images and do the processing with NumPy/SciPy (array-processing library). But you might want to check whether either ImageMagick (e.g. "convert -equalize ...") or NetPBM (e.g. pnmhisteq) do what you want. If they do, it will probably be the simplest solution. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
