pyvips is a binding for the libvips image processing library. It's fast and only needs a little memory.
For example, on this benchmark:
https://github.com/libvips/libvips/wiki/Speed-and-memory-use
It's 5x faster than ImageMagick and needs 10x less memory.
pyvips works on all python versions on all platforms, is LGPL, can be simply installed with pip, has complete documentation, has a large test suite, and has no known memory leaks.
