I would like to see os.path.basename() have an optional second parameter for
a filename extension. This would be more similar to the UNIX basename
command.
a filename extension. This would be more similar to the UNIX basename
command.
Does anyone else see this as a good idea?

Well if you don't know the extension you have
the more powerful os.path.splitext().
If you do know the extension then just
use the standard python functionality:
f='file.tar.gz'
if f.endswidth('.tar.gz'):
f=f[:-len('.tar.gz')
It's better not to duplicate the logic I think.
Pádraig.
