I had a similar problem when sometimes the colors seem to get messed up (getting some weird red lines) after applying sin while trying to suggest the suggested solutions here. Failed to solve the problem.
I understand that the original poster does not want any more dependencies, if possible, but for those who are not limited, here is an alternative sample solution provided by scikit docs:
http://scikit-image.org/docs/dev/auto_examples/transform/plot_piecewise_affine.html#sphx-glr-auto-examples-transform-plot-piecewise-affine-py
Copy from document above:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from skimage.transform import PiecewiseAffineTransform, warp
from skimage import data
image = data.astronaut()
rows, cols = image.shape[0], image.shape[1]
src_cols = np.linspace(0, cols, 20)
src_rows = np.linspace(0, rows, 10)
src_rows, src_cols = np.meshgrid(src_rows, src_cols)
src = np.dstack([src_cols.flat, src_rows.flat])[0]
dst_rows = src[:, 1] - np.sin(np.linspace(0, 3 * np.pi, src.shape[0])) * 50
dst_cols = src[:, 0]
dst_rows *= 1.5
dst_rows -= 1.5 * 50
dst = np.vstack([dst_cols, dst_rows]).T
tform = PiecewiseAffineTransform()
tform.estimate(src, dst)
out_rows = image.shape[0] - 1.5 * 50
out_cols = cols
out = warp(image, tform, output_shape=(out_rows, out_cols))
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.imshow(out)
ax.plot(tform.inverse(src)[:, 0], tform.inverse(src)[:, 1], '.b')
ax.axis((0, out_cols, out_rows, 0))
plt.show()
