Python: Check if a directory exists using os module

Question

I'm trying to validate if a directory received as user input exists using the os module

This is how I'm accepting the input:

directory = input("Hi ! \n please type a directory, thanks !")

The idea is that I want to make sure the user will type an existing directory and nothing else

Answer 1

Have you read the docs for the os module?

Check out the following two links:

os.path.exists()

Return True if path refers to an existing path.

os.path.isdir()

Return True if path is an existing directory.
