Python Image Processing and PIL

I wrote the following code (based on code provided in the PIL documentation) to halve the size of all jpeg images in a folder and save as a new file. Not the fastest code, but it worked pretty well.

from PIL import Image

import glob, os

newPath = raw_input("folder to process:")
os.chdir(newPath)
for infile in glob.glob("*.jpg"):

file, ext = os.path.splitext(infile)

im = Image.open(infile)

print file

x = int(im.size[0]*0.5)

y = int(im.size[1]*0.5)

size = x,y

im.resize(size, Image.ANTIALIAS)

im.save(file + "_small_" + ".jpg")
