I am unable to get wand.image working on windows 7, Python 2.7 and ImageMagick-6.9.6-Q8.
From the errors it seems that code is unable to read Image-Magick libraries. Can you help?

@akc185: try the following:

• Install ImageMagick ImageMagick-6.9.6-8-Q16-x86-dll.exe selecting development headers (x64 version didn't work for me with Windows 7 either)
• You have to set MAGICK_HOME environment variable to the path of ImageMagick (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\ImageMagick-6.9.6-Q16).

Not sure if anyone else has seen this problem, but I'm getting this error from my OS X command line:

        attempting to load the font using its name.
               Output may be incorrect.
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
