'symbolic_link' is a symbolic link in the current directory. I run 'python main.py', but it does not return me anything. I want to check if a file is a symbolic link.

Use os.lstat instead of os.stat to prevent following symbolic links. Or more directly, use os.path.islink() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
