How to set the current working directory in Python?
Try os.chdir
os.chdir(path) Change the current working directory to path. Availability: Unix, Windows.
Perhaps this is what you are looking for:
import os
os.chdir(default_path)
import os
print os.getcwd() # Prints the current working directory
To set the working directory:
os.chdir('c:\\Users\\uname\\desktop\\python') # Provide the new path here
\u
in the string on the other hand is a syntax error; that should be \\u
.
getcwd
).... remarkable.
It work for Mac also
import os
path="/Users/HOME/Desktop/Addl Work/TimeSeries-Done"
os.chdir(path)
To check working directory
os.getcwd()

people using pandas package
import os
import pandas as pd
tar = os.chdir('<dir path only>') # do not mention file name here
print os.getcwd()# to print the path name in CLI
the following syntax to be used to import the file in python CLI
dataset(*just a variable) = pd.read_csv('new.csv')
os.chdir
command different for panda usage?
os.path.dirname(__file__)
if you need to be relative to executed file for example
Success story sharing
os.getcwd()
first, and that shows me the format of the accepted input foros.chdir()
