Print __file__ without file extension

Is there a better way to print __file__ without the extension?

import os
print os.path.splitext(__file__)[0]

Don't do this, use os.path.splitext. However if you must, here's a way:

'.'.join(__file__.split('.')[:-1])

Without split(), without os: file[:file.find('.')].

(inb4 a captain obvious jumps in with a comment: with the assumption that you have one '.' in file).

You can use string.split, but what's the point? The standard library is giving you the exact tool you need.
