Today in this article we shall see how to check if a file exists without exceptions in the Python code base.
Today in this article, we will cover below aspects,
lets see in details both the approach.
os.path.isfile(path)
os.path module implements some very useful functions on path names. To read or write files see open(), and for accessing the filesystem see the os module.
The path parameters can be passed as either strings, or bytes.
os.path.isfile function – Return True if the path is existing regular file. isfile() can be true for the file if exist in the path else it returns false.
result = os.path.isfile(r'C:\Test\file\file-input-thecodebuzz.txt')
Path.is_file()
PathLib module offers classes representing filesystem paths with semantics appropriate for different operating systems.
Function Path.is_file() – Return True if the path points to a file existing in the path else it returns false.
False is also returned if the
- path doesn’t exist
- other errors (Example- permission errors) etc.
