JPEG module

[mirotomi]

In Python 2 there is a (deprecated) module for IRIX, called jpeg. I would like to use a module like that (its syntax reminds me of zlib module) in Python (preferably 3.x) on Raspbian. I mean, I would like to choose the level of compression (that is, the quality) with one command ( like jpeg.compress(data, 8) ) and decompress the image with the other command and then compare the decompressed image with the original. Is something like that available in Python? Or what are the options.

Google "python PIL" and look at the Image module.
