The POSIX solution is stat() :
These functions return information about a file.
Basically, you hand it an instance of the struct stat , and if the call succeeds (check this first!) you get various fields filled in that describe the file.
You can then use the S_ISDIR() macro on the st_mode field to figure out if it's a directory. I suspect this is what Python does, under the hood.
