Yes, I know that. You helped me to understand that in a earlier,
different question.

Thank you for this example, it's exactly what I was thinking of. I
didn't know that I could use an equivalent comparison to determine
whether or not ext[1] contained the string I wanted to remove, that's
all I was asking.

After reading over the various replies and testing them, I think that
this is the best solution:

if fname.lower().endswith('.mp3'):
    remove...

Thanks again for the examples.
