Can I access ImageMagick API with Python?

Question

I know that the PIL does not have the amount of image functionality available so in that case I have to work with ImageMagick. But, I need to use Python only.

I have done my research and came to this point that the python bindings (PythonMagick) is not been updated since 2009.

I want to know can we access the API directly using ctypes and conversions of some sort?

Answer 1

I would suggest you work with Wand as it is just a (reduced) C API to the ImageMagick ".. API is the recommended interface between the C programming language and the ImageMagick image processing libraries. Just like the MagickCore C API, MagickWand works only with some opaque types. Accessors are available to set or get significant wand properties."

For more information regarding the same, do refer to the Python certification course.
