FWIW: I tried PythonMagick for a while, but soon found that large or 
complex images caused it to consume excessive memory and sometimes 
crash, taking my application with it.  I switched to the command line 
interface to isolate my application from problems in 
Graphics/ImageMagick.  Everything ended up much more robust that way, 
and the time cost is small--it's on the order of milliseconds.
