PIL (Python Imaging Library) is the "standard" Python graphics library.
It is used to create images in the form of pictures and saving as .png,
.jpg, or whatever.

Also check out ReportLab and my constant recommendation, VPython.
     http://www.reportlab.org
                    -- generate PDFs.
     http://www.vpython.org
                    -- 3(or 2)-D as interactive display graphics.  It
                       gives real 3-D graphics (mouse can roll & zoom).
                       VPython can also put out POV-Ray source
                       (  http://www.povray.org  ).
