How to Change the Working Directory in Python

The easiest way to change the working directory in Python is to use the os module. This module provides functions for interacting with the operating system, including the ability to change the working directory.

To use the os module, you’ll need to import it into your script. Here’s an example of how to import the os module and change the working directory:

import os

os.chdir("/path/to/directory")
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

The chdir function takes a single argument, which is the path to the directory you want to change to. You can use either an absolute path (e.g., /path/to/directory) or a relative path (e.g., ../../other/directory).
