Convert JPG from AdobeRGB to sRGB using PIL?

Question

How can I detect if the JPG is AdobeRGB and if it is convert it in python to sRGB JPG.

If that is possible in PIL, that would be great. Thank you.

Thanks for the spec link martineau, I've put some working PIL code together with functions that detect the presence of a Adobe RGB ICC profile within an Image, and convert the colorspace to sRGB.

adobe_to_xyz = (
    0.57667, 0.18556, 0.18823, 0,
    0.29734, 0.62736, 0.07529, 0,
    0.02703, 0.07069, 0.99134, 0,
) # http://www.adobe.com/digitalimag/pdfs/AdobeRGB1998.pdf                                

xyz_to_srgb = (
    3.2406, -1.5372, -0.4986, 0,
    -0.9689, 1.8758, 0.0415, 0,
    0.0557, -0.2040, 1.0570, 0,
) # http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB                                                     

def adobe_to_srgb(image):
    return image.convert('RGB', adobe_to_xyz).convert('RGB', xyz_to_srgb)

def is_adobe_rgb(image):
    return 'Adobe RGB' in image.info.get('icc_profile', '')

# alternative solution if happy to retain profile dependency:

# icc_profile = image.info.get("icc_profile")                                             
# image.save(destination, "JPEG", icc_profile=icc_profile)

(I used these to create a Django easy-thumbnails processor function):

def preserve_adobe_rgb(image, **kwargs):
    if is_adobe_rgb(image):
        return adobe_to_srgb(image)
    return image
