Getting the name of the file without the extension:
import os
print(os.path.splitext("/path/to/some/file.txt")[0])
Prints:
/path/to/some/file
Documentation for os.path.splitext
.
Important Note: If the filename has multiple dots, only the extension after the last one is removed. For example:
import os
print(os.path.splitext("/path/to/some/file.txt.zip.asc")[0])
Prints:
/path/to/some/file.txt.zip
