Wand: ctypes-based ImageMagick binding for Python

Post by dahlia »

I glad to introduce Wand, a new Python binding of ImageMagick based on ctypes. It has several key features:
  • Pythonic and modern interfaces
  • Good documentation
  • Binding through ctypes (not C API) — we are ready to go PyPy!
  • Installation using pip or easy_install
You can easily install it from PyPI:

Code: Select all

$ easy_install Wand
Documentation/website: http://dahlia.github.com/wand/
PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Wand
GitHub: https://github.com/dahlia/wand

Thank you!

We released Wand 0.3.0. It’s the first version that works on Python 3, and contains several new features like sequence, drawing, and seam carving as well. Please read what’s new guide for this. It doesn’t cover all changes, so see also the full changelog if you need to check API-level changes.

You can install it from PyPI:

Code: Select all

$ pip install Wand==0.3.0
Thanks!
