split question

[eric dexter]

This is probily an easy question but I seem to be having trouble splitting on the \. I have tried """ (triple quotes) and that dosn't work, I tried '\\' but that was just guessing. my .bat file generates as
csound C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\boa-constructor\test of snake\csd files\c.z.robertson-praleck_brome.csd

and what I need is just

csound c.z.robertson-praleck_brome.csd

The batch file just doesn't run with the entire file name
If there is a way to generate it as a shortcut instead it would be even cooler (The people that do panda3d have been able to do that)

def create_csd_bat(self):
         "Creates a .bat file that executes a .csd file only works with windows"
         dlg = wx.FileDialog(self,"load csd file", ".", "", "*.csd", wx.OPEN)
         try:
             if dlg.ShowModal() == wx.ID_OK:
                 filename = dlg.GetPath()
                 # Your code
                 csdfilename = filename[:-4] 
                 #linetest = '\\'
                #csdwritename = test = line.split('\\')
                 outfile = open(csdfilename + '.bat', 'w')
                 outfile.write('csound '+ filename)
         finally:
            dlg.Destroy()

Never mind I found the answer to that. os.path.basename(filename)
