Yes, there are lots of options.

Any GUI library will have a canvas object upon which you can draw 
primitive graphics like lines and curves. This includes the Tkinter 
library that comes with Python.

There are also graphing/plotting libraries if that's what you
want to produce.

There are games libraries if you want to play games.

There are also interfaces to standard graphics tools
like OpenGL too.

There is PIL for manipulating graphics produced in other tools

And also you can use third party tools like ImageMagick

It all depends on how sophisticated you want to be and
what your performance constraints are.
