You will need to use a third party tool for that:

I believe that the most prominent ones are:

-------------------------------------
PIL (Python Image Library)
http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/

supported formats are:
http://www.pythonware.com/library/pil/handbook/image-file-formats.htm

I have used PIL, both standalone from Python, and under Zope. It's nice 
software and hasn't caused me any problems.

-------------------------------------
Pythonmagick
http://pythonmagick.procoders.net/
Which is a python interface for Imagemagick

It seems to support more formats than PIL, but I have never tried it.
http://www.imagemagick.org/www/formats.html

For the simple task you need to do, you probably don't even need a 
Python module. You could just call Imagemagick via popen or something 
similar and make it do the conversion.
