GDAL polygonize lines

In the end I wrote the following script that solved my problem. The script converts raster pixels with a specified value to vector lines. For example the blue pixels (value = 0) are converted to vector lines. There is definitly room to improve the script, as you can see in the result image. The script can be found and edited here.
