I don't know whether or not the method I used is efficient

Doing fileName[-1] lets you access the last character, but I'm not sure about removing it since strings are immutable. It would still probably be something like you did.

Question two:
Does python provide any function that can remove the newline character
from a string if it exists?

>>> fileName = 'Perfect Setup.txt\n'
>>> fileName.strip()
'Perfect Setup.txt'
>>>

Or you can use lstrip() or rstrip() to remove just the left or right side.
