In Python, the os module provides a method called path.exists() to validate if a user-supplied file path refers to a real file. The function takes a string of the supposed file path as an argument and returns True if it exists or False otherwise.
Here’s an example:
def is_valid_path(file_path):
return os.path.exists(file_path)
This function can be used in your program to check the validity of a file path before performing operations on it. It’s important to note that this only checks for existence, not permissions or other potential issues with accessing the file.
