Have you tried the _documentation_?

I don't recall what it is exactly...[five minutes later]:
One way is with glob:
import glob
def FileExists(filename):
return len(glob.glob(filename)) > 0
if FileExists(r'c:/windows/notepad.exe'):
print 'yup'
if not FileExists(r'c:/windows/notepad.exk'):
print "I didn't think so."
May or may not be the Right way.
