Path.is_file()
Path.is_file() is a Python method in the Pathlib Module category. Returns True if the path points to a regular file. The syntax is Path.is_file(). Returns: Boolean. A typical example: Path("file.txt").is_file() # True
Path("/tmp").is_file() # False. A close sibling is pathlib.Path(), which creates a Path object for filesystem path operations. A close sibling is Path.exists(), which returns True if the path points to an existing file or directory. A close sibling is Path.is_dir(), which returns True if the path points to a directory. A close sibling is Path.mkdir(), which creates the directory; with parents=True creates intermediate dirs like mkdir -p.
