How do I return path to file if it exists in python

Question

I have to check that file exists or not, and if it does, have to return path to it , the main problem is that os.path.isdir returns only True or False depending on existence, so it seems it does not fit. Any hints? Current schema in my mind is:

def get_config_path():
    if exists(path1):
        return path1
    if exists(path2):
        return path2

And where do `path1` and `path2` come from? If they are not defined in the function you should use parameters. — Matthias, Oct 01 '17 at 20:09

Invoke os.stat(filename) where filename can be a file or directory path. If the file exists, it will return a valid stat object. Otherwise, it throws a FileNotFound exception.
