osp.basename

os.path.basename() is a method in Python's os.path module that returns the base name of a file or directory path. It extracts the last component of the path and returns it as a string. For example, if the path is "/home/user/Documents/file.txt", the basename() method will return "file.txt".

Syntax: os.path.basename(path)

Parameters:
- path: The file or directory path whose base name is to be extracted.

Return Value: A string representing the base name of the path.

Example:

import os

path = "/home/user/Documents/file.txt"
basename = os.path.basename(path)

print(basename)    # Output: file.txt
