Python modules for image / map manipulation?

I would like to do some image / map manipulation with Python.

I've got a very large map file in .png format. My thought is to chop
it up into small tiles using some method. What Python module would be
helpful for this?

Next, when I obtain the start and end co-ordinates of a user's trip,
I'd like to stitch together the approriate tiles and present the
images that show the terrain the user has travelled over.

Lastly, I'd like to plot the GPS tracklog of the trip on top of the map.

Any suggestions for modules or projects to help accomplish this? It's
a non-commercial hobby application.

thanks,
--

Several people asked me for the following HOWTO, so I decided to post it here (though it is still very 'alpha' and might contain many (?) mistakes; didn't test what I wrote, but wrote it - more or less - during my own installation of Python 2.3 on Fedora Core 1 Linux for a friend of mine). Anyway, HTH, L.

Warning: this post may display my utter ignorance of image file format facts. As part of a photo album program I'm working on, I'd like to be able to work with the metadata in JPEG files, which I understand are really JFIF files holding jpg data. Do any Python modules permit me to do this? I looked at PIL, but it seemed to operatre at a higher level, i.e. hiding the file-level implementation details. At the least I'd like to be able...

Man, I've been banging my head against a C program for a while now. I'm embarrassed to admit how long. I really want to use Python, as I mentioned in a prior post, but the speed hit is such that I'll probably use it only for prototyping. But boy, development sure is fast in Python! Today, while playing with it, I thought of a better way to arrange my data, that makes the program more flexible. It's a good enough idea to warrant redoing...

I realized that I have a little job on the table that is a fine test of the Python versus Standard Forth code availability and reusability issue. Note that I have little experience with either Python or Standard Forth (but I have much experience with a very nonstandard Forth). I've noodled around a bit with both gforth and Python, but I've never done a serious application in either. In my heart, I'm more of a Forth fan: Python is a bit...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
