How to change current working directory in Python?

Question

Is there any function to change the current working directory using Python? I want to do it programmatically instead of using Linux command.

Answer 1

You can use the "chdir()" function to change the current working directory in Python. This function is part of the "os" module.

import os

os.getcwd()      # current working directory

os.chdir('/new/working/directory')   # Change current working directory

In the above chdir() function, change directory with your directory.
