You could use one of the URL libraries. The os.path module is for
dealing with the local filesystem.
The absence of any exception from
f = urllib.urlopen("http://www.google.com/webhp/";)
is a good indication that the addressed page "exists" (but remember that
the web is a virtual address space, so it doesn't necessarily mean that
there's a real file or directory object behind ot).
