Python importing a batch of jpg images in files?

I'm trying to import a batch of images from a file to a new separate folder according to the images name for example; 1000_70.jpg --> folder 70 and 1200_71.jpg --> folder 71. However, when I ran the script it does nothing. 

from PIL import Image
import glob
import os



folder='Desktop/n' # All jpegs are in this folder
imList=glob.glob(folder+'*.jpg') # Reading all images with .jpg
newfold = 'Desktop/n/l' # New folder path


for img in imList: # Loop
    im = Image.open(img) # Opening image
    fileName, fileExt = os.path.splitext(img) # Extract the filename and 
                                               #  Extension from path
    im.save(newfold+fileName+'*.jpg')  #save the image to new folder from 
                                        #old folder

First of you want the filename of the image not the path, use split instead of splitext to remove the parent folder and than use splitext to remove the extension:

os.path.splitext("afdsasdf/fasdfa/fff.jpg")
=> ('afdsasdf/fasdfa/fff', '.jpg')
os.path.split("afdsasdf/fasdfa/fff.jpg")
=> ('afdsasdf/fasdfa', 'fff.jpg')

Second you remove the wildcare in *.jpg when saving the image. You need that wildcare with glob since you are selectioning multiple files.

Third you need to extract the second number in the filename (1000_70.jpg --> 70).

All toghether you should have something that look like this:

for img in imList:
    im = Image.open(img)
    filepath, filenameExt = os.path.split(img)
    filename, fileExt = os.path.splitext(filenameExt)
    folderNumber = filename.split("_")[1]
    im.save("{}/{}/{}".format(newfold, folderNumber, filenameExt))
