with open("/tmp/x", "w") as f:
  f.write("asdf")

4
tf.io.gfile.exists("/tmp/x")
True

You can also specify the URI scheme for selecting a different filesystem:

# for a GCS filesystem path:
# tf.io.gfile.exists("gs://bucket/file")
# for a local filesystem:
with open("/tmp/x", "w") as f:
  f.write("asdf")

4
tf.io.gfile.exists("file:///tmp/x")
True

This currently returns True for existing directories but don't rely on this behavior, especially if you are using cloud filesystems (e.g., GCS, S3, Hadoop):

tf.io.gfile.exists("/tmp")
True

Args
path	string, a path

Returns
True if the path exists, whether it's a file or a directory. False if the path does not exist and there are no filesystem errors.

Raises
errors.OpError	Propagates any errors reported by the FileSystem API.
