  2. An intuitive and arguable way to check if a file exists is the following: import os. os.path.isfile('~/file.md') # Returns True if exists, else False. # Additionally, check a directory. os.path.isdir('~/folder') # Returns True if the folder exists, else False. # Check either a directory or a file.

  3. 322. To check if a path is an existing file: os.path.isfile(path) Return True if path is an existing regular file. This follows symbolic links, so both islink() and isfile() can be true for the same path. edited Feb 13, 2010 at 22:59. mechanical_meat. 168k 25 233 224. answered Feb 13, 2010 at 22:42.

  4. We can check with 2 built in functions. os.path.isdir("directory") It will give boolean true the specified directory is available. os.path.exists("directoryorfile") It will give boolead true if specified directory or file is available. To check whether the path is directory;

  5. I cannot recall offhand if python supports the syntax or if it will normalize long path's via the conventional format (i.e. C:\path\...) – bgura Commented May 14, 2019 at 13:15

  6. glob is useful if you are doing this in within python, however, your shell may not be passing in the * (I'm not familiar with the windows shell). For example, when I do the following: import sys print sys.argv On my shell, I type: $ python test.py *.jpg I get this: ['test.py', 'test.jpg', 'wasp.jpg'] Notice that argv does not contain "*.jpg"

  7. Neither truncate nor open(..., 'w') will change the inode number of the file (I tested twice, once with Ubuntu 12.04 NFS and once with ext4). By the way, this is not really related to Python. The interpreter calls the corresponding low level API.

    However, as noted by @LukasGraf, this is generally considered less than ideal because it introduces a race condition if something else were you create the file in the time between when you check to see if it exists and when you go to open it.

  9. Use one of these methods: pathlib.Path.unlink() removes a file or symbolic link. pathlib.Path.rmdir() removes an empty directory. shutil.rmtree() deletes a directory and all its contents. On Python 3.3 and below, you can use these methods instead of the pathlib ones: os.remove() removes a file.

  10. 5. Using the module os you can check the existence of the file within python by running. import os. os.path.isfile(fname) If it returns False, that means that your file doesn't exist in the specified fname. If it returns True, it should be read by np.loadtxt(). Extra: good practice working with files and paths.

  11. These are some valid options for the second parameter mode in open(): """. w write mode. r read mode. a append mode. w+ create file if it doesn't exist and open it in (over)write mode. [it overwrites the file if it already exists] r+ open an existing file in read+write mode. a+ create file if it doesn't exist and open it in append mode.
