like frederik says (I use '/' as I am using Unix):
>>> import os
>>> os.path.split ('c:/foo/bar')
('c:/foo', 'bar')
>>> os.path.splitext ('c:/foo/bar')
('c:/foo/bar', '')
>>> os.path.splitext ('c:/foo/bar.txt')
('c:/foo/bar', '.txt')
or if you are really reluctant:
>>> 'c:\\foo\\bar'.split ('\\')
['c:', 'foo', 'bar']
>>> 'c:\\foo\\bar'.split ('\\') [-1]
'bar'
