I've recently delved into python, about a week or so ago; I'm trying to

GD, Gimp, or ImageMagick?

When I needed thumbnails of my images, I created them using ImageMagick. ImageMagick is a very nice tool for editing images and since it is called from the command line it is easy to invoke it from a programming language. There are python-bindings for it, but I think they are not very actively maintained and so I wouldn't use them.

Using PIL is another option and maybe more pythonic, but if you are familiar with ImageMagick it might be a good alternative.
