To avoid extra copies, I'd recommend changing

image = Image.open(filename)
image = image.convert('RGB')
image = image.resize(size, Image.ANTIALIAS)

to

image = Image.open(filename)
if image.mode not in ("L", "RGB"):
    image = image.convert('RGB')
image = image.resize(size, Image.ANTIALIAS)

The 

image.save(file(output_filename, 'wb') ...

thing is also unnecessary; save() takes either a filename or a file object, so there's no need to open it yourself.

Cheers /F

Also, change line 13 from: output_filename = get_default_thumbnail_filename(output_filename)

to: output_filename = get_default_thumbnail_filename(filename)

so it uses the filename of the file you are thumbnailing. If output_filename is None by default, then that causes a problem ;)
