As of Python 3.5 you can simply do:

from pathlib import Path
Path(__file__).stem

See more here: https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/pathlib.html#pathlib.PurePath.stem

For example, I have a file under my user directory named test.py with this inside:

from pathlib import Path

print(Path(__file__).stem)
print(__file__)

running this outputs:

>>> python3.6 test.py
test
test.py
