Sounds good. There are also datasets that consits of directories directly (shapefile directory, filegdb, ...) You could use gdal.IdentifyDriver() as well which might be a bit faster if you don't need to know more than the driver that handle the file (which doesn't look like being the case given what you mention above) . Note that IdentifyDriver() works only on raster datasets in GDAL 1.X and has been extended to vector as well in GDAL 2.0 > but i'm surprised opening a .shx file returns no error, for > example... Yes, that's a bit odd to accept opening through the .shx file. But you'd have the same issue with the .dbf, which is a legitimate entry since the shapefile driver can handle pure .dbf files without .shp.
