Your question is fine for this forum. Thanks for investigating Python!

I have no experience with such a library. Possible candidates include:

* moviepy: Video editing with Python
  <URL:https://pypi.python.org/pypi/moviepy/>

* pygame: wrapper module for the SDL multimedia library
  <URL:https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pygame/1.7.1>
