New submission from xiaowei:
>>> print( os.path.splitext.__doc__ )
Split the extension from a pathname.
Extension is everything from the last dot to the end, ignoring
leading dots. Returns "(root, ext)"; ext may be empty.
>>> os.path.splitext('.txt')
('.txt', '')
####
I think, in windows it should be ('','.txt'), because the first dot doesnot
mean hiding. Actually, in windows file explorer , it will show a empty file
name and hide the extension if the extension has been related a program except
shell32.dll，just like the attachment show. So, in windows, the last dot , even
it's the first character of the file name, it still means the start of the file
extension name.
In this case, windows doesnot like linux, we donot have to make them same.
If you agree, then
why we can talk ignoring leading dots or not ......
i mean
os.path.splitext('...ext')
Anyway, thank you , for your work, even you donot think so
