How to find if directory exists in Python?

Question

In the `os` module in Python, is there a way to find if a directory exists, something like: >>> os.direxists(os.path.join(os.getcwd()), 'new_folder')) # in pseudocode True/False

Answer 1

Yes, this exists as a function in the 'path' python module. See the following code snippet...

import os

path = "/some/directory/location/"

if os.path.exists(path):

print(path + " exists!")

else:

print(path + " does not exist!")

The os.path.exists() function returns Boolean values.
