answer python path filename

python path filename

Comment

# Basic syntax:
import os
os.path.basename('/path/to/filename.txt')

# Example usage:
os.path.basename('/path/to/filename.txt')
--> filename.txt

# Note, to get the path instead of the filename, use:
os.path.dirname('/path/to/filename.txt')
--> /path/to

# Note 2, to get both the first and last part of the path, use:
parent, child = os.path.split("/path/to/directory/or/file.txt")
# Where:
#	- the parent will be the first part of the path
#	- the child will be the last path of the path (directory or file)

# Note 2, example usage:
import os
parent, child = os.path.split("/path/to/directory/or/file.txt")
print(parent)
--> /path/to/directory/or
print(child)
--> file.txt
