Building web graphics with Python

[Steven Feil]

I am wondering if there is a light weight Python library for producing
web graphics on-the-fly. There is a C-language library called gd that
can be used in a CGI program to produce gif images. The Library can
be used to produce graphics images that are dynamically generated. I
was wondering if there is something similar for Python.

You can create a Python wrapper for gd with SWIG or Pyrex. PIL (Python
Imging Library) and Piddle are native Python solutions.

No need to reimplement a gd wrapper:

here's one such library:

if you insist on using GD itself, use the gdmodule:

ReportLab Graphics module can produce graphics
and then save into many formats via Python Imaging
Library (PIL).
