Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Well, so we can keep term "extension". But I think it is worth to clarify that "leading periods" is related to the last component, not the whole path. It is related to the original issue. -- ___ Python tracker

Eryk Sun added the comment: > On Windows the extension of "python.exe" is "exe", not ".exe". FWIW, a file extension in Windows includes the dot. Trailing dots are stripped from filenames, so a file can't be named "python." because it's the same as just "python". (It's possible to prevent st

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: There are other issues with the documentation of splitext(). 1. It uses term "extension" (it is even a part of function name), but it is vague and usually does not include a period. On Windows the extension of "python.exe" is "exe", not ".exe". On Unix ter

[issue34931] os.path.splitext with more dots

Jan Novak added the comment: Yes, dot behaviour is well documented. But splitext() is a function to split name and extension, not take care about hidden files. Hidden files starting with dot is Unix like system feature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_file_and_hidden_directory Hidden f

Lysandros Nikolaou added the comment: IMHO this is not a bug. Every file starting with a dot is hidden by default, so this is somewhat correct behaviour. Since it is documented correctly I don't this something needs to change here. Yet again, could someone more experienced offer their opinio
