Test for the existence of one or more matches of the wildcard expression. For example:
Are there any files that begin with 2005? This doesn't work (wish it did): os.access('2005*',os.F_OK) However, these work arounds do the job: glob.glob('2005*')==[] as does this bash command: os.system('[ -e %s ]' % path ) The 1st is not very readable and the 2nd has portability issues. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
