how do i check if a file exists with python?

[Daniel Klein]

How about something like

def fileExists(f):
    try:
        file = open(f)
    except IOError:
        exists = 0
    else:
        exists = 1
    return exists


Although this is not as elegant as the person who submitted the 'glob'
solution.
