You could get a list of all filenames that match the pattern. Extract
the last components as numbers, and add 1 to the maximum.

  i = 1 + max(int(name.split('.')[-1])
              for name in glob.glob('filename.0.0.*))

That assumes that there already is at least one such file and all such
files have a last component that can be parsed as an int. Take an
appropriate amount of care.

Or you could also create a file, say lastname.0.0.31, to track the
name, and when you find it there, create filename.0.0.32 and replace
lastname.0.0.32; panic if there is more than one lastname.0.0.*, or
fewer than one.

Or as above but track with nextname.0.0.31 to create filename.0.0.31
and replace the tracking name with nextname.0.0.32 for the next file.

Or save the number somewhere else.
