Have you tried them?

https://docs.python.org/2/library/os.path.html#os.path.splitext

This takes a path and splits it into everything-but-the-extension,
and the extension.  The "[0]" takes the first part (without the
extension), and the "+ '.jpg'" part tacks on that extension.

So it changes whatever the existing extension is to .jpg
