[Tutor] how to alter list content

[Marc Buehler]

hi.

i create a list of all JPG files with:
 list = glob.glob('*.JPG')
the content of 'list' is now:
 print list
['DSC1.JPG', 'DSC2.JPG', 'DSC3.JPG']

but what i want is this type of list:
['DSC1', 'DSC2', 'DSC3']
i.e. the names w/o the file extension.

what's the easiest way of doing this?
