[Tkinter] How to get the name of a file only from a file path ?

[DT2000]

I have been reading and experimenting to find the proper way to remove the path of a file when selected using filedialog.askopenfile.
When I select the file (mp3) from the folder I can use a print statement to check the value of the variable, which gives:

1	<_io.TextIOWrapper name='C:/Users/DT2000/Documents/Python Projects/mp3 Player/music/test.mp3' mode='r' encoding='cp1252'>

I would like to strip all of the path and trailing information so that only the test.mp3 will show when it is used in a Label for the song list.

Currently I have:

1 2 3 4 5 6

def audio_file():     global recorded_file     recorded_file = filedialog.askopenfile(title='J.E.C. Software Solutions',     filetypes=[('Image Files', ['.wav', '.mp3', '.vox'])])     now_playing.insert(0,recorded_file)     print(recorded_file)

I have been reading information about the os.path.spitext and also ntpath.split but have not seen how this can help my sistuation.

A point in the right direction would be appreciated.

Using https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

from pathlib import Path   filepath = 'C:/Users/DT2000/Documents/Python Projects/mp3 Player/music/test.mp3'   path = Path(filepath)   print(path.name)

Output:
test.mp3

I just found a way to do it but my attempt uses more lines of code.

Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

def audio_file():     global recorded_file     recorded_file = filedialog.askopenfile(title='J.E.C. Software Solutions',     filetypes=[('Image Files', ['.wav', '.mp3', '.vox'])])     filepath = recorded_file     path = Path(filepath)     print(path.name)

Using this I receive:

1	expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not _io.TextIOWrapper

What is filedialog.askopenfile

Edit found a ref to it in tkinter
If it is tkinter use askopenfilename() instead

I have made the change and it is working properly, I appreciate the help.
