Full splitting of a file's pathname

[Kerry, Richard]

Unless it's the sort of operating system that uses something like :

Sys$disk:[foo.bar.moo.lar]myfile.txt


(VaxVMS, from quite a few years ago)
And if I recall, the parsing function provided would also separate the
extension from the main part of the file's name.


Unhelpfully,
Richard.

I don't know if it's "standard," but why not just:

dir = './foo/bar/moo/lar/myfile.txt'
dir.split('/')

['.', 'foo', 'bar', 'moo', 'lar', 'myfile.txt']
