Hi Dave,

OpenSlide Python has a module for generating Deep Zoom tiles, plus some 
example programs that use it to serve to OpenSeadragon.  Take a look at 
deepzoom_server.py and deepzoom_multiserver.py in the 
"examples/deepzoom" directory.

If you want to pregenerate a complete Deep Zoom tree, rather than 
generating individual tiles as they are requested by clients, there is 
also deepzoom_tile.py.  We use a version of this to build the demo site, 
but I don't recommend it for most users; the VIPS dzsave command is 
faster and produces a better-quality result.  If you use dzsave with 
MIRAX slides, you will want to look at the autocrop option.
