Why do I get: Invalid Syntax

I am getting invalid syntax on the following:

rootdir = 'c://temp/test//files//'
for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk(rootdir):
    for file in files:
        fileParts = file.split('.')
        if len(fileParts) > 1:
            stripper = fileParts([len(fileParts)-2]
            print(stripper)

The error was in line 6 of code, correct version below:

stripper = fileParts([len(fileParts)-2]

You need a syntax check editor or IDE.

stripper = fileParts([len(fileParts)-2]
                                       ^

there's a missing closing parenthesis ), should be:

stripper = fileParts([len(fileParts)-2])
                                       ^

Aside: You might find some of the functions in the os.path module useful, in particular os.path.split() and os.path.splitext(). Should you need to put paths together later, os.path.join() is good to use.
