[Image-SIG] anyone knows a imlib2 extension for python?

[alex]

hi,

i'm looking for an python extension to create buttons for a web page on the 
fly, including ttf support and blur() function, but haven't found one. also 
i need conversion from jpeg/gif/png/tiff/bmp to jpeg/gif for uploaded 
images. this way i can upload any images, regardless of it's format.

the imlib2 library provides all functions i need (i've used it with php4 
and c), but haven't found a python extension.

i checked the following libraries:
- pil
- paint library
- gd module

but they don't fit my requirements.

so my question is:
does anyone know an imlib2 python extension/wrapper
or
any other good image/graphic library for python?

hint for a good 'python extension developer' mailing list would also be 
appreciated in case there's no imlib2 python extension out there...

thanks, alex
