Both functions use the
os.path.split(path)function to split the pathnamepathinto a pair;(head, tail).The
os.path.dirname(path)function returns the head of the path.E.g.: The dirname of
'/foo/bar/item'is'/foo/bar'.The
os.path.basename(path)function returns the tail of the path.E.g.: The basename of
'/foo/bar/item'returns'item'
