Python | os.path.basename() method

# Python program to explain os.path.basename() method 
  
# importing os.path module 
import os.path
# Path
path = '/home/User/Documents'
# Above specified path
# will be splitted into
# (head, tail) pair as
# ('/home/User', 'Documents')
# Get the base name  
# of the specified path
basename = os.path.basename(path)
# Print the base name  
print(basename)
# Path
path = '/home/User/Documents/file.txt'
# Above specified path
# will be splitted into
# (head, tail) pair as
# ('/home/User/Documents', 'file.txt')
# Get the base name  
# of the specified path
basename = os.path.basename(path)
# Print the basename name  
print(basename)
# Path
path = 'file.txt'
# The above specified path 
# will be splitted into 
# head and tail pair
# as ('', 'file.txt')
# so 'file.txt' will be printed
# Get the base name  
# of the specified path
basename = os.path.basename(path)
# Print the base name
