isfifo?

[rdmurray]

I've googled and looked through os.path, but I don't see a method for
determining if a path points to a FIFO.  Anyone know of a simple way to
do so?

import os
import stat

st_mode = os.stat(path)[0]
isfifo = stat.S_ISFIFO(st_mode)

def isfifo(fn):

Thanks.  I should have thought of looking in os.stat.  Odd that S_ISFIFO
didn't come up in my google search.
