See
https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/library/os.html and
viewtopic.php?t=5291
It's really fascinating what a Google search (in this case: "Micropython directory") might return.

Code: Select all
import os
for loc in os.ilistdir('.'):
if loc[1] == 0x4000: # folder
print(loc[0]+'/')
else: # file
print(loc[0]+':', loc[3], 'bytes')
Output, on the nearest Raspberry Pi Pico I could find:
Code: Select all
1602clock.py: 385 bytes
cardkb.py: 725 bytes
dir.py: 181 bytes
id.py: 102 bytes
lib/
rnd_spd2.py: 295 bytes
rnd_spd3.py: 273 bytes
tm1638tst.py: 215 bytes
touch.py: 136 bytes

Google? never heard of it
This is what i came up with:
Code: Select all
def file_exists(path):
try:
f = open(path, "r")
f.close()
return True
except OSError:
return False
def dir_exists(path):
try:
if os.stat(path)[0] & 0x4000:
return True
else:
return False
except OSError:
return False
Thanks for pointing me to
0x4000 direction
