Hello Drever,

You don't have errors when importing aggdraw and Image? Than this has to 
work:

import aggdraw, Image
im = Image.new("RGB", (100, 100), ("white"))
draw = aggdraw.Draw(im)
pen = aggdraw.Pen('black', width=5, opacity=255)
draw.ellipse((10,10,90,90), pen)
draw.flush() # Without the flush you'll get an empty image!
# im.show() # Has compression
im.save("/path/to/your/folder/test.png", "png") # Clean aggdraw image

Hope it helps!
