>>print test

True
------------working fine but for below statement it is giving syntax
error.

>>if (os.path.isfile ('c:\\src\\kasj dfl.txt'))

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

You know that this is not C, and that the parentheses are not needed in the
"if" statement? In my opinion, they interfere with readability.
