Does Bio.SeqIO from BioPython Convert .faa to .fasta?

I am looking for a way to convert .faa to .fasta for import into Proteome Discoverer. Does Bio.SeqIO perform this function? What would you recommend?

biopython conversion fasta faa bio.seqio

.faa files should already be in the fasta format. No conversion should be need other than a change of file extension if you want it to be .fa.

faa is already in FASTA format, the aa is meant to indicate that it contains aminoacids, but the format is FASTA
