title: How to delete a file without an extension?
body: <p>I have made a function for deleting files:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def deleteFile(deleteFile):
      if os.path.isfile(deleteFile):
          os.remove(deleteFile)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, when passing a FIFO-filename (without file-extension), this is not accepted by the os-module.
  Specifically I have a subprocess create a FIFO-file named 'Testpipe'.
  When calling:</p>
  
  <pre><code>os.path.isfile('Testpipe')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It results to <code>False</code>. The file is not in use/open or anything like that. Python runs under Linux.</p>
  
  <p>How can you correctly delete a file like that?</p>
