Find project name with ArcPy

Question

I'm trying to automate exporting multiple layouts from a project. I want all the exported files to share the same name as the project, with an appended string. The problem is I can't find a simple way to extract the project name. I know it's included in the filePath property of the ArcGISProject object, but is there an easier way than having to extract the name from the full path? I know I could use the project name from metadata, but I don't usually fill that out and I'd rather not fill it out simply for this purpose. I really just want to use the name as found in the project settings:

I'm able to use that as dynamic text in the layout; would be great to find it with ArcPy, too.

ArcGISProject—ArcPy | Documentation filePath(Read Only)Returns a string value that reports the fully qualified project path and file name. How, and where, are you running your script? That might have some influence on the easiest way to proceed. The full path would be useful since you can also extract folder information beyond the aprx as well. Python parsing is simple junk = r"C:\Git_Dan pgeom\Project_npg pgeom\junk.aprx" junk.split("\")[-1][:-5] # ---- without extension 'junk' junk.split("\")[-1] # ---- with extension 'junk.aprx'‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
