Did you have a look at ndimage?

You could probably have a faster, pure python version with some indexing
tricks. E.g. if your gradient filter is static (i.e. the weights do not
adapt to the local image content), you can apply it to whole images that
contain shifted image contents. This way, you're using the fast C loops of
NumPy.
