How do I get the folder of the known file directory?

Question

What command can I execute using python to find the folder of the file(the directory is known) using python?

For example, I have "C:/Users/ExUser/Documents/Folder/Player/To-Do.txt", I just need the "Player" part.

Answer 1

Use basename and dirname,

import os
path = 'C:/Users/ExUser/Documents/Folder/Player/To-Do.txt'
os.path.basename(os.path.dirname(path))

Or Simply

path.split('/')[-2]
