In Python, the os.path module defines several pathing functions;
perhaps their names may be helpful:
import os
full = "/home/ed/base.ext"
os.path.basename(full)
'base.ext'
os.path.dirname(full)
'/home/ed'
os.path.splitdrive(full)
('', '/home/ed/base.ext')
os.path.split(full)
('/home/ed', 'base.ext')
os.path.splitext(full)
('/home/ed/base', '.ext')
