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

For convenience, a simple function wrapping the two methods from os.path :

def filename(path):
  """Return file name without extension from path.

  See https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html
  """
  import os.path
  b = os.path.split(path)[1]  # path, *filename*
  f = os.path.splitext(b)[0]  # *file*, ext
  #print(path, b, f)
  return f

Tested with Python 3.5.
