The os.path library has just what you're looking for. Use
os.path.exists, like so:


#!/usr/bin/python

import os.path

pathToFind = "/usr/bin/local"

if os.path.exists(pathToFind):
print "Path exists."
else:
print "Path does not exist."

See the os module, specifically the os.path functions I believe.
