Python Data Persistence – File\/Directory Management Functions<\/h2>\n

We normally use operating system\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s GUI utilities or DOS commands to manage directories, copy, and move files etc. The os<\/strong> module provides useful functions to perform these tasks programmatically. os .mkdir ( )<\/strong> function creates a new directory at given path. The path argument may be absolute or relative to the current directory. Use chdir ( )<\/strong> function to set current working directory at the desired path. The getcwd ( )<\/strong> function returns the current working directory path.<\/p>\n

Example<\/strong><\/p>\n

>>> os.mkdir('mydir')\r\n>>> os.path.abspath('mydir')\r\n'E:\\\\python37\\\\mydir'\r\n>>> os.chdir('mydir')\r\n>>> os.getcwd()\r\n'E:\\\\python37\\\\mydir'<\/pre>\n
You can remove a directory only if the given path to rmdir ( )<\/strong> function is not the current working directory path, and it is empty.<\/p>\n
Example<\/strong><\/p>\n
>>> os.chdir( ' . . ' ) #parent directory becomes current working directory\r\n>>> os.getcwd ( )\r\n'E:\\\\python37'\r\n>>> os.rmdir('mydir')<\/pre>\n
The rename ( )<\/strong> and remove ( )<\/strong> functions respectively change the name of a file and delete a file. Another utility function is listdir ()<\/strong> which returns a list object comprising of file and subdirectory names in a given path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
