I have 12 images that represent weather conditions at day 1 through day 12. I am using gdal2tiles to produce map tiles from each of these images. gdal2tiles also produces a KML file that can be used in Google Earth to display the tiles.
However, I want to create an animated layer out of all 12 images.
Google Earth seems to support animation in KML files (see https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/time#example2). Are there any tools to create an animated ground overlay KML file such as this? Is gdal2tiles capable of it?
Thanks a lot.

A wonderful tool to create an animated ground overlays KML file is simplekml, "a python package which enables you to generate KML with as little effort as possible."
The following is a quick and dirty reproduction of the TimeSpan Example you mentioned before using simplekml:
