[Tutor] listdir, ispath, and unicode

[Rob]

I'm also running Win2K on this machine and tried to reproduce your problem.
Here I ran os.listdir on the folder on C:\insight. It displayed its contents
in some detail.

>>> os.listdir('c:\\insight')
['abbrev.html', 'begin.html', 'glossary.html', 'history.html',
'index-author.html', 'index-names.html', 'index-number.html',
'index-similes.html', 'index-subject.html', 'index-sutta.html',
'index-title.html', 'index.html', 'other.html', 'sutta101.html',
'theravada.html', 'tech', 'cdrom', 'pali', 'ptf', 'icon', 'lib', 'canon',
'faq.html', 'help.html', 'news.html', 'search.html', 'bfaq.html',
'Tibet-HTML']

Then I ran os.path.isfile on one of the files in that folder thusly:

>>> os.path.isfile('c:\\insight\\index-sutta.html')
1
>>>

All seems well here. It seems that in your code you are asking if the folder
C:\tmp2 is a file, and you are being correctly told that it is not a file.

Do I have all of your facts correct?
