How to find file extension in case of file list?

Question

How can I find the file list extension. I am currently using os.path.splitext, which does not work. Please suggest any other method in case of file list.

My code is here:

files = request.FILES.getlist('media')
            for f in files:
                p = os.path.splitext(f)[1]
                print p

Error displayed here 'InMemoryUploadedFile' object has no attribute 'rfind'

Thanks in advance

From the error and the code, it seems that you are using Django, so you should get the name of the object and not the object itself as:

 p = os.path.splitext(f.name)[1]

which will give the file name, not the file.
