The Python Imaging Library can handle all those.

I am not sure why this turned into a Java vs Python thing - there are lots of "external" Open Source imaging libraries for Java one could use, too.

Well, the original article was quite Java-vs-Python-y to start with.

Anyway, I wasn't arguing; just pointing out the fact in case you were interested. I wasn't even aware that there was any type of jpg support in the standard Python library.

Thanks, of course I am interested. I went through the Python tutorial a few years ago, but dismissed the language afterwards (also because I didn't like the API documentation). Now I am wondering if that was a mistake...
