title: In python, how can I test if a path is a symbolic link?
body: <p>In python, how can I test if a path <em>is</em> a symbolic link?  I'm sure it has to do with the <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/os.html" rel="nofollow">os package</a>, but my searching of the documentation text didn't yield a result.  I'm using version 2.7 at the moment.</p>
