Ist s/he interested in the fractals mathematically, as pictures, or as a nice example for practicing programming skills? If it is about programming skills, it is certainly instructive to write a Sage-Python program generating Mandelbrot sets, using the Sage's plotting facilities. Such program will be very slow. And then, cythonize it! It is amazing how much Cython speeds the whole computation up, when you cdefine your complex coordinates as pair of doubles, and cdefine the indices of any tight loop as int.
