Not a bug. The current behavior is consistent and unsurprising.

Devika Sondhi  added the comment:

Linux (unlike Windows) allows naming a file with a trailing dot. The issue with 
file name such as '.blah.' is that it does not have an extension and one would 
expect the base-name without extension to be returned as '.blah.' and not as 
'.blah'
splitext returns ('.blah','.')

Matthew Barnett  added the comment:

It always returns the dot.

For example:

>>> posixpath.splitext('.blah.txt')
('.blah', '.txt')

If there's no extension (no dot):

>>> posixpath.splitext('blah')
('blah', '')

Not a bug.

Is this similar to previous discussions about leading and trailing dots ?

New submission from Devika Sondhi :

posixpath.splitext('.blah.') returns ('.blah', '.') while the expectation was 
to return an empty extension at the end.
