Python has a dedicated module for dealing with file paths:

In [13]: os.path.dirname('urse/project/kb/use.js')
Out[13]: 'urse/project/kb'

Append a trailing os.sep as required (or, better yet, stick to using the os.path module for manipulating paths).

>>> s = 'urse/project/kb/use.js'
>>> s[:s.rfind('/') + 1]
'urse/project/kb/'
