check the existence of a directory in remote host using paramiko

I want to go to remote host and do some tasks. One of them is to check the existence of a directory.

import paramiko  import os, sys    ssh=paramiko.SSHClient()  ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())  mykey=paramiko.RSAKey.from_private_key_file("Key_location")  ssh.connect('1.2.3.4', port = 3441, username=ba, pkey = mykey)  stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command('cat happy.txt')  out = stdout.readlines()  if os.path.isdir('/home/user/abc):      #do something  else:      stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command('rm -r abc')  

Issue is that the code is not able to check if a directory exsist or not The code is able to get the content of happy.txt but not able to check the directory in remote host.
