The following maybe a little better:
def getExt(fname):
return fname.rsplit('.', 1)[1]
It uses one method instead of two compared to yours. And in your code
there's no need for the ‘ext’ variable, you could use:
def getext(fname):
return fname.split('.').pop()
For more information about ‘str’ objects type the following inside the
Python shell:
>>> help(str)
