String tokenization python

I wanted to split a string in python. 

s= "ot.jpg/n"

I used str.split() but it gives me ['ot.jpg']. I want to get ot.jpg without brackets.

sounds like you want replace.

s= "ot.jpg/n".replace("/n", "")
"ot.jpg"

The return value of the split() method is always a list -- in this case, it's given you a single-element list theList = ['ot.jpg']. Like any list, you get what you want out of it by indexing it:

myString = theList[0]

You want to use str.strip() to get rid of the newline. If you need to use split, it returns a list. To get the nth item from a list, index the list: ['foo', 'bar'][n].

Incidentally, naming your string str is a bad idea, since it shadows the built-in str function.
