Python split url to find image name and extension

Question

I am looking for a way to extract a filename and extension from a particular url using Python

lets say a URL looks as follows

picture_page = \"http://dis         


        

Answer 1

os.path.splitext will help you extract the filename and extension once you have extracted the relevant string from the URL using urlparse:

   fName, ext = os.path.splitext('yourImage.jpg')
