[Scott F]

On Win32, is there a function in the standard modules that can take a
pathname and return whether it refers to a File or a Directory?

import os
os.path.isfile(name)
os.path.isdir(name)

Is that adequate?

There's certainly one in the os module: os.path.isdir and
os.path.isfile.

Yes. I only did a dir(os) and thus didn't see the items under path.

Thanks Peter (and Erik).
