Path Component Manipulation

To split one component off of the path:

>>> p = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'foo.txt')
>>> p
'/Users/csaftoiu/tmp/foo.txt'
>>> os.path.dirname(p)
'/Users/csaftoiu/tmp'
>>> os.path.basename(p)
'foo.txt'
>>> os.path.split(os.getcwd())
('/Users/csaftoiu/tmp', 'foo.txt')
>>> os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(p))
('foo', '.txt')
