check if file is a symlink Here is a small piece of code: import os from stat import *
filePath = "/home/xyz/symLinkTest" mode = os.stat(filePath)[ST_MODE] print 'Find using os.path : ',os.path.islink(filePath) print 'Find using mode :', S_ISLNK(mode) print 'Is this a regular file : ' S_ISREG(mode) Output : --------- Find using os.path : True Find using mode : False Is this a regular file : True File symLinkTest is a symbolic link. Why S_ISLNK(mode) returns False and S_ISREG(mode) returns True ? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
