Automatically convert PNG to JPG using Python

Question

I wrote a Python program to extract an image from a URL using

msgImage = MIMEImage( urllib2.urlopen(chartURL).read() ) msgRoot.attach(msgImage) 

The image I get from the URL is in PNG format, but I would like to embed a JPG version in it. Is there an easy way to automatically convert PNG msgImage to JPG for small attachments?

Thank you for reading. Any help is appreciated.

You can use PIL: http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ This is easy and it has a lot of documentation.
