Which PyMagick are you referring to?

This one: http://starship.python.net/crew/zack/pymagick/
Or this one: http://pythonmagick.procoders.net/

Pros/cons of each? I've used the one at procoders, but I had problems with
it conflicting with my standalone ImageMagick DLLs (on Windows, of course).
I'm also a bit confused as to the real and practical difference between
"ImageMagick" and "GraphicsMagick".

Thanks,
Dave
