PIL supports OpenType fonts, but it ignores OpenType features like Contextual Alternatives and Ligatures. – tobltobs Mar 16 '17 at 18:11

You can use Pango and Cairo and then its python binding 'pycairo' available in the last site too. You can access to some (not all) OpenType features with these libraries.
