Current directory

  We can get the present working directory using the getcwd() method.

  This method returns the current working directory in the form of a string.

Change directory

  We can change the current working directory using the chdir() method.

  We can use both forward slash (/) or the backward slash (\) to separate path elements.

Create new directory

  We can make a new directory using the mkdir() method.

  If the full path is not specified, the new directory is created in the current working directory.

Rename a directory

  We can rename a directory by using rename().

Remove a directory

  We can remove a directory by using rmdir().

#import os library
import os
print(“Default directory”)
print(os.getcwd())
print(“\n”)

#change the current directory
os.chdir(‘/home/soft27/soft27/Python’)
print(“Changed directory”)
print(os.getcwd())
print(“\n”)

#create a new directory
os.mkdir(‘new files’)
print(“***New Directory***”)
print(os.listdir())
print(“\n”)

#renaming a directory
os.rename(‘new files’,’new python files’)
print(“***Remnamed directory***”)
print(os.listdir())
print(“\n”)

#removing a directory
os.rmdir(‘new python files’)
print(“***Removed directory***”)
print(os.listdir())
