I doubt that very much. I expect you are probably writing something like
this:


path = 'My Documents\testing\path\match.cpython-35.pyc'
os.path.isfile(path)

and not realising that you have a TAB character in your string from the \t,
or something similar.

In Python, you should always use forward slashes for paths, even on Windows.

path = 'My Documents/testing/path/match.cpython-35.pyc'

Try printing the repr() of your path.
