If path is a string containing the full path to the file (absolute path or relative to the working dir) then use import os os.path.exists(path) # To see if the path represents *something* real os.path.isfile(path) # check for a file specifically os.path.isdir(path) # check for a directory Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
