No, it wasn't, actually. Read the doc strings, which state exactly what
the code does.
Windows:
>>> import os
>>> 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.
Posix:
>>> import os
>>> help(os.path.splitext)
Help on function splitext in module posixpath:
splitext(p)
Split the extension from a pathname. Extension is everything from the
last dot to the end. Returns "(root, ext)", either part may be empty.
