Do you know of anything new on PIL (http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/) ? Or any similar library that might replace it for Python 3?

Pillow (https://github.com/python-imaging/Pillow) is a fork of PIL. If you look at recent commits, you'll see one that claims to make it more Python 3 friendly, but not quite Python 3 compatible because of differences in the C code. So maybe a good opportunity for someone to jump in and fix that.

PythonMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org/download/python/) works in Python3. PIL with Python3 support is coming later, apparently.

There is also Wand (http://dahlia.kr/wand/index.html), which, while still alpha, is a very nice ctypes-based, MagickWand API binding. It is also available in pypi, so is easy to install. Support for Python 3 is near-term goal of the project.

There's what claims to be a Python 3 version of the codebase on Christoph Gohlke's Python packages for Windows page (http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pil). I haven't tested it.
