Of course Python offers all the tools you need. To copy files, you can use shutil.copy(). To find all JPEG files in the source directory, you can use glob.iglob().

import glob
import shutil
import os

src_dir = "your/source/dir"
dst_dir = "your/destination/dir"
for jpgfile in glob.iglob(os.path.join(src_dir, "*.jpg")):
    shutil.copy(jpgfile, dst_dir)

Note that this will overwrite all files with matching names in the destination directory.
