how to remove suffix from filename

[royG]

hi
when parsing a list of filenames like ['F:/mydir/one.jpg','F:/mydir/
two.jpg'....] etc i want to extract the
basename without the suffix...ie i want to get 'one','two' etc and not
'one.jpg'

is there a function in python to do this or do i have tosplit it ..?
thanks
RG

os.path.splitext is the one, it think.

import os

fname='F:/mydir/two.jpg'
filenameonly=os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(fname))[0]
