Is there any way to find the mount point of a filesystem given the path to a file within the file system?

I didn't find anything already extant, so here's this:
def mountpoint(s):
    import os
    if (os.path.ismount(s) or len(s)==0): return s
    else: return mountpoint(os.path.split(s)[0])
def testit():
    print mountpoint("/home/john/scheme/cmucl")
    print mountpoint("/usr/local")
    print mountpoint("/lib/")
    print mountpoint("lib")
