You can use pygame.

Its well documented on www.pygame.org. You have to look into the module
surfarray, which makes it possible to access and manipulate pixel data
using - guess what - Numeric arrays.

Look in the code examples for some effects that utilize this - AFAIK there
is something like a fire or motion blurring. These access pixel data. Just
plug in your array, and you should be done.

This is the flames example. The function in question is blit_array - look it
up in the docs. This example even deals with indexed_bitmap_data, which is
what you want, as you have a only one value per pixel.
