I need to convert PNG images to JPG..can python help

[Chris Richard Adams]

Thanks the os.system call seems the simplest. If a have list variables
in my python code (for example, the file name I want to convert) how can
I pass that variable to the os.system call. For example... something
like this

os.system(" convert FILE1 FILE2 ") - yet FILE1 and FILE2 are string
variables in my script.

Thanks,
Chris

import os
os.system("convert ...")

or, using PIL (http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil):

import Image
im = Image.open("infile.png")
im.save("outfile.jpg")
