The path.isfile method of the os module

The path.isfile method checks whether the file specified in the method parameter exists. This method can also be used to determine whether the path specified in the parameter is a file. The method returns a boolean value: if the path is a file, then True, otherwise - False.

pythonimport os

print(os.path.isfile(path))
