Dynamic image creation/manipulation in AppEngine?

I have not been able to track down an answer on this.开发者_开发技巧 I'd like to be able to manipulate or create images to then compile into a video. I'm starting to think this is just not a good fit for GAE. I wanted to do this in Python but doesn't look like that is possible without C support. Even with Java I'm seeing conflicting information about what is possible.

Does anyone know for sure if there are any fully supported image libraries for Python or Java?

You're right - anything that involves heavy image manipulation isn't a good fit for App Engine - especially video encoding. Consider writing a service that does this on something such as EC2, and calling it from App Engine when needed.
