Question

How to get the filename without the extension from a path in Python?

For instance, if I had "/path/to/some/file.txt", I would want "

Answer 1

import os

filename = C:\\Users\\Public\\Videos\\Sample Videos\\wildlife.wmv

This returns the filename without the extension(C:\Users\Public\Videos\Sample Videos\wildlife)

temp = os.path.splitext(filename)[0]  

Now you can get just the filename from the temp with

os.path.basename(temp)   #this returns just the filename (wildlife)
