Is there a Python equivalent to the ‘which’ command

I believe there is none in the python libraries

>>> def which(pgm):
    path=os.getenv('PATH')
    for p in path.split(os.path.pathsep):
        p=os.path.join(p,pgm)
        if os.path.exists(p) and os.access(p,os.X_OK):
            return p


>>> os.which=which
>>> os.which('ls.exe')
'C:\\GNUwin32\\bin\\ls.exe'
