对于简单的用例，一个选项可能是从点拆分：

>>> filename = "example.jpeg"
>>> filename.split(".")[-1]
'jpeg'

文件没有扩展名时没有错误：

>>> "filename".split(".")[-1]
'filename'

但你必须小心：

>>> "png".split(".")[-1]
'png'    # But file doesn't have an extension

也不会在Unix系统中处理隐藏文件：

>>> ".bashrc".split(".")[-1]
'bashrc'    # But this is not an extension

对于一般用途，首选os.path.splitext

此方法需要字典、列表或集合。您可以使用内置字符串方法使用“.endswitch”。这将在文件末尾的列表中搜索名称，只需使用str.endswith（fileName[index]）即可完成。这更多用于获取和比较扩展名。

示例1：

dictonary = {0:".tar.gz", 1:".txt", 2:".exe", 3:".js", 4:".java", 5:".python", 6:".ruby",7:".c", 8:".bash", 9:".ps1", 10:".html", 11:".html5", 12:".css", 13:".json", 14:".abc"} 
for x in dictonary.values():
    str = "file" + x
    str.endswith(x, str.index("."), len(str))

示例2：

set1 = {".tar.gz", ".txt", ".exe", ".js", ".java", ".python", ".ruby", ".c", ".bash", ".ps1", ".html", ".html5", ".css", ".json", ".abc"}
for x in set1:
   str = "file" + x
   str.endswith(x, str.index("."), len(str))

示例3：

fileName = [".tar.gz", ".txt", ".exe", ".js", ".java", ".python", ".ruby", ".c", ".bash", ".ps1", ".html", ".html5", ".css", ".json", ".abc"];
for x in range(0, len(fileName)):
    str = "file" + fileName[x]
    str.endswith(fileName[x], str.index("."), len(str))

示例4

fileName = [".tar.gz", ".txt", ".exe", ".js", ".java", ".python", ".ruby", ".c", ".bash", ".ps1", ".html", ".html5", ".css", ".json", ".abc"];
str = "file.txt"
str.endswith(fileName[1], str.index("."), len(str))

具有输出的示例5、6、7

示例8

fileName = [".tar.gz", ".txt", ".exe", ".js", ".java", ".python", ".ruby", ".c", ".bash", ".ps1", ".html", ".html5", ".css", ".json", ".abc"];
exts = []
str = "file.txt"
for x in range(0, len(x)):
    if str.endswith(fileName[1]) == 1:
         exts += [x]
     

filename='ext.tar.gz'
extension = filename[filename.rfind('.'):]

我知道我迟到了

这是我的简单解决方案

file = '/foo/bar/whatever.ext'
extension = file.split('.')[-1]
print(extension)

#output will be ext

上面的任何解决方案都有效，但在linux上，我发现扩展字符串末尾有一个换行符，这将阻止匹配成功。将strip（）方法添加到末尾。例如：

import os.path
extension = os.path.splitext(filename)[1][1:].strip() 

最简单的获取方法是使用mimtypes，下面是示例：

import mimetypes

mt = mimetypes.guess_type("file name")
file_extension =  mt[0]
print(file_extension)
