Hi,
I have a very simple problem, but I can't work out the answer. How do I
return the current tty number in python? eg. what function/module should

When doing recursive directory traversal, sometimes you want to follow
symlinks that point at other directories, and sometimes you don’t. Here’s a
routine that you can use to check whether a path specifies a directory, with
the option to treat a symlink to a directory as a directory, or not:
