Using imagemagick:

import subprocess

args = {
    'bgColor': 'transparent',
    'fgColor': 'light slate grey',
    'fgOutlineColor': 'red',
    'text': 'Example',
    'size': 72,
    'geometry': '350x100!',
    'output': '/tmp/out.png',
    'font': 'helvetica'
}

cmd = ['convert', 'xc:{bgColor}', '-resize', '{geometry}', '-gravity', 'Center', 
       '-font', '{font}', '-pointsize', '{size}', '-fill', '{fgColor}', 
       '-stroke', '{fgOutlineColor}', '-draw', "text 0,0 '{text}'", '-trim', '{output}']
cmd = [item.format(**args) for item in cmd]

proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd)
proc.communicate()
