""" PIL The Python Imaging Library
PIL provides general image handling and lots of useful basic image operations like resizing, cropping, rotating, color conversion.

In [1]: from PIL import Image

In [2]: import os

In [3]: for infile in filelist:
   ...:     outfile = os.path.splitext(infile)[0] + ".jpg"
   ...:     if infile != outfile:
   ...:         try:
   ...:             Image.open(infile).save(outfile)
   ...:         except IOError:
   ...:             print "cannot convert", infile


 The PIL function open() creates a PIL image object and the save() method saves the image to a file with the given filename.
