I believe the thrust of Fredrik's post was: you can't. JPEG does *not* 
store alpha channels.  It's just not part of the format, so if you need 
to store in JPEG format, you will not be storing the alpha channel in 
the file.

If what you're asking is whether you can store the alpha data to a 
separate file (as is done with programs such as 3DStudio Max), yes, that 
can be done too:

 >>> import Image
 >>> i = Image.open( r'p:\OpenGLContext\tests\wrls\simple_texturergba.png' )
 >>> alpha = i.getdata( 3 )
 >>> i2 = Image.new( 'L', i.size, )
 >>> i2.putdata( alpha )
 >>> i2.save( r'p:\OpenGLContext\tests\wrls\simple_texturea.jpg', 'jpeg' )

HTH,
Mike
