For a small script I'm writing, part of it requires the ability to split a gif (that would be selected by the user) into it's frames; and then those frames be stitched together on a spritesheet (vertically or horizontally, depending on user choice), and then save that new image with the same name but appending -sprite
. What's the best library / process to use if ease of distribution is key?

This may have the answer you're looking for, but it is a couple years old, so there may be something better now: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7503567/python-how-i-can-get-gif-frames – mrcheshire Sep 20 '15 at 19:40

@mrcheshire that does not give me my answer. That lets you know *how many* frames are in a gif. I need to extrapolate said frames, and stitch them together into a new image. Combining that with the fact that I can't really use PIL, since that's both quite old and isn't for python 3.X – 13steinj Sep 20 '15 at 19:50

See [Pillow](https://python-pillow.github.io/). – Peter Wood Sep 20 '15 at 19:58
