Question

I would like to find that whether there is any file exists in a specific directory or not with using python.

Something like this;

if os.path.exists('*.txt'):
   # true --> do something
else:
   # false --> do something

You can use glob.glob with wildcards and check whether it returns anything. For instance:

import glob
if glob.glob('*.txt'):
    # file(s) exist -> do something
else:
    # no files found

Note that glob.glob return a list of files matching the wildcard (or an empty list).
