<div> </div>
<div>Sorry, but this is a very basic questions...</div>
<div>Can you tell me how to check the existence of a file..</div></blockquote><div><br>
to check if a file exists, you can use os.path.exists(path) <br>
or look at <a href="http://python.org/doc/current/lib/module-os.path.html">http://python.org/doc/current/lib/module-os.path.html</a> for more info<br>
