Hi

Given these two file paths

/tmp/tmpya51Zz/Test.php
/tmp/tmpya51Zz/_unittest/TestTest.php

Please can someone tell me the most efficient way to extract
Test.php
_unittest/TestTest.php
[/python]

Thanks

in python 3.5+

import os
paths = ['/tmp/tmpya51Zz/Test.php', '/tmp/tmpya51Zz/_unittest/TestTest.php']
common = os.path.commonpath(paths)
print([p.replace(common, '') for p in paths])

otherwise you can use os.path.dirname(path) on the first path to get the common part

Thanks
