python file type code example
Example 1: how to get what type of file in python
import os
# unpacking the tuple
file_name, file_extension = os.path.splitext("/Users/pankaj/abc.txt")
print(file_name)
#returns abc
print(file_extension)
#returns .txt
Example 2: python3
# In python3, builtin file is no more present.
# In python3, file objects are part of the io module. You can do it something like this.
>>> from io import IOBase
>>> f = open(<filePath>, 'w')
>>> isinstance(f, IOBase)
True
>>> isinstance(object(), IOBase)
False
