All files are contained in different directories, but Python is also easy to handle. The OS module has many ways to help you create, delete, and change directories.
mkdir () method
You can use the mkdir () method of the OS module to create new catalogs in the current directory. You need to provide a parameter that contains the name of the directory you want to create.
Grammar:
Os.mkdir ("Newdir")
Example:
The following example creates a new catalog test under the current directory.
#!/usr/bin/python#-*-coding:utf-8-*-import OS # Create directory Testos.mkdir ("test")
ChDir () method
You can use the ChDir () method to change the current directory. The ChDir () method requires a parameter that you want to set as the directory name of the current directory.
Grammar:
Os.chdir ("Newdir")
Example:
The following example goes to the "/home/newdir" directory.
#!/usr/bin/python#-*-coding:utf-8-*-import OS # Changes the current directory to "/home/newdir" Os.chdir ("/home/newdir")
GETCWD () Method:
The GETCWD () method displays the current working directory.
Grammar:
OS.GETCWD ()
Example:
The following example gives the current directory:
#!/usr/bin/python#-*-coding:utf-8-*-import OS # gives current directory OS.GETCWD ()
RmDir () method
The RmDir () method deletes the directory, and the directory name is passed as a parameter.
Before deleting this directory, all of its contents should be purged first.
Grammar:
Os.rmdir (' dirname ')
Example:
The following is an example of deleting the "/tmp/test" directory. The fully compliant name of the directory must be given, otherwise the directory will be searched under the current directory.
#!/usr/bin/python#-*-coding:utf-8-*-import os # delete "/tmp/test" directory Os.rmdir ("/tmp/test")
