When you split the filename and extension, the dot/separator
remains as part of the extension. If you recombine the two
pieces, you shouldn't try and add a dot back in. The code you
posted originally doesn't do this, but you may have tweaked the
original code before posting to the list. If anything, you'd
want to strip the dot off the left side of the extension rather
than try and monkey with the right side of the filename portion.
>>> os.path.splitext('hello.txt')
('hello', '.txt')
>>> help(os.path.splitext)
Help on function splitext in module ntpath:
splitext(p)
Split the extension from a pathname.
Extension is everything from the last dot to the end.
Return (root, ext), either part may be empty.
