Attribute Error for Rename / Replace

[warden89]

Just playing with string .split method . It assumes that needed part is between first and last underscore (as provided in example).

I'm not sure how to incorporate this into the code I already have - apologies I am very new to this. If I can get it working though, it looks like it might be a better solution then what I commented out above it.

import os, zipfile, string, re
from shutil import copyfile

###Parameters ###

dir_name = 'C:\\Users\\m88576\\Desktop\\UnzipDirectory' # Defines target directory
extension = ".zip" #Defines target extension (zip)
os.chdir(dir_name) # change working dir to target directory

###Rename Zip Files###

file_list = os.listdir(dir_name)

def rename_files(): #Obtain the file names from the folder
    for file_name in file_list: #Rename the files inside of the folder.
        #os.rename(file_name, file_name.translate(str.maketrans('','','0123456789_-'))) #Removes characters noted to the left
        f"{''.join(file_list.split('_', maxsplit=1)[1].rsplit('_', maxsplit=1)[0].split('_'))}.zip"
rename_files()

Error:
'list' object has no attribute 'split'
