Producing a color map image using Python

I have a working program in C++ that generates data for a Mandelbrot Set. I am able to get the colo开发者_StackOverflow社区r map image of the Mandelbrot set using gnuplot. In order to save the image, I just take a screenshot which doesn't give a very accurate image.

how I can use a Python script in order to produce and save the image.

The Python Imaging Library is the standard means to produce 2D images and image files in Python.

PIL and NumPy ofcourse ;)
