What would be the best way in Python 2.7 to find out if a path is a socket?
os.path has is... functions for directories, normal files and links. The stat module offers some S_IS... functions like S_ISSOCK(mode) which I used as
import os, stat
path = "/path/to/socket"
mode = os.stat(path).st_mode
isSocket = stat.S_ISSOCK(mode)
print "%s is socket: %s" % (path, isSocket)
Is this the prefered way?

How do you check socket is connected or not? If you need to determine the current state of the connection, make a nonblocking, zero-byte Send call. If the call returns successfully or throws a WAEWOULDBLOCK error code (10035), then the socket is still connected; otherwise, the socket is no longer connected.
os.path. exists() to check if a file or directory exists using Python. We further use this method to check if a particular file path refers to an already open descriptor or not.
The setsockopt() function provides an application program with the means to control socket behavior. An application program can use setsockopt() to allocate buffer space, control timeouts, or permit socket data broadcasts. The <sys/socket. h> header defines the socket-level options available to setsockopt().
Well, this is straight forward and works, so I take this as the canonical way.
