PythonMagick is an imaging library which provides Python bindings for GraphicsMagick, which is it self a fork of a well known ImageMagick library. Currently PythonMagick is the only Python-callable library I know of, which provides support for 16-bit images (as well as other bit depths). Actually, there are two version of PythonMagick, one compiled for 8-bit images (known as Q:8, or having quantum number 8) and one compiled for 16-bit images (Q:16). The Q:16 is internally a 16-bit library, i.e., it converts all images internally to 16-bit while the Q:8 version is optimized for 8-bit, so it's a bit faster. These days computers are plenty fast so why limit your self?
At this time PythonMagick only has an installer for Windows. A tar file also exists but there are difficulties getting it to compile on Linux. My understanding is that its because of some boost.python complexity...
