How to get the type of a file or folder in python

Hey:)
It is very easy to get the file type using os
you can get it by the following code snippet

import os
if os.path.isdir(file_dr):
   file = "folder"
else:
   file_ = name.split(".")
   file = repr(file_[-1])
print(file")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
