Just a quick remark. The way that notebook images work is that
all png, jpg, etc. images that get output to os.curdir when a cell
gets evaluated, will *automatically* appear as images embedded
in the notebook. You don't have to do anything else but that.
E.g., if you have a command foo such that foo(filename) writes
an image to the file with name filename, then
foo(os.curdir + '/image.png')
will result in an image being embedded in the notebook. Simple
as that.

You of course need to read the Python tutorial if you haven't already.
Also, the Sage programming guide is supposed to be what you want
(though whether it is is arguable):
