python - Stitching Photos together

Question

So for this project I'm working on, I have 2 photos. These two photos need to be stitched together, one on the top and one on the bottom, and then you will be able to see the whole picture. Any ideas on what module I should use to do this?

Here's a code sample using Pillow. Hope it helps someone!

from PIL import Image

def merge_images(file1, file2):
    """Merge two images into one, displayed side by side
    :param file1: path to first image file
    :param file2: path to second image file
    :return: the merged Image object
    """
    image1 = Image.open(file1)
    image2 = Image.open(file2)

    (width1, height1) = image1.size
    (width2, height2) = image2.size

    result_width = width1 + width2
    result_height = max(height1, height2)

    result = Image.new('RGB', (result_width, result_height))
    result.paste(im=image1, box=(0, 0))
    result.paste(im=image2, box=(width1, 0))
    return result
