You can use glob. Assuming the files are all in one directory:
import os
import glob
folder = r"C:\log\renderfiles"
# find files that end with "_V001.0001.exr"
pattern = os.path.join(folder, "*_V001.0001.exr")
files = glob.glob(pattern)
# remove the directory
names = [os.path.basename(f) for f in files]
# remove everything after and including the last occurence of "_"
names = [n.rpartition("_")[0] for n in names]
print "\n".join(sorted(names))
