PIL (Python Imaging Library) is the most widely-used general-purpose image
library. For more advanced tasks, the usual solution is to use PIL to
load/save images and do the processing with NumPy/SciPy (array-processing
library).

But you might want to check whether either ImageMagick (e.g. "convert
-equalize ...") or NetPBM (e.g. pnmhisteq) do what you want. If they do,
it will probably be the simplest solution.
