You'll need a DOS-based Python with a module (probably custom made) that gives 
you access to such routines.  I used to maintain one, but stopped doing so a 
few years ago (because I wasn't using a DOS- or Win9x-based machine anymore). 
There are other, more recent DOS Pythons out there though; google for them.

Calling pixel plot routines from Python might not be a good idea though, unless 
you don't care much about speed.

Cheers,
