Python — Script to Rename Files and Crop Images in Directory

I’m often using python to rename files for me or process them in batches when I need to save some time / immense boredom, and I do it so infrequently I generally have to look at reference material.

Here some code for future reference.

"""
Python Rename Script
=========

This is just some one off code I wrote to save myself from doing repetative tasks. 

It probably took as long as manually renaming them and cropping the files.

The source files were in this format:
- name fun.jpg
- name work.jpg

I needed them in the following format:
- team_name.jpg
- team_name2.jpg 

and at specific dimensions.

I at first just wanted to rename, but found out some images were odd sizes.
