I think it's reasonable to expect that

splitext( a+"." + b) == (a, .b ) for any a,b which have no dots in them...

Except for an empty 'a', in what case 'b' is the name, not the extension. Well, 'a' cannot be empty because it's the name, but 'b' can be empty. For ".pythonrc.py" ".pythonrc" is the name and ".py" is the extension. For ".pythonrc" ".pythonrc" is the name and there is no extension.

Oleg.

       Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
