python os

1#the os module provides an operating system interface from Python
2import os
3#prints the name of the operating system
4print(os.name)
5#prints the absolute path for the module
6print(os.getcwd())

1# Delete everything reachable from the directory named in "top",
2# assuming there are no symbolic links.
3# CAUTION:  This is dangerous!  For example, if top == '/', it
4# could delete all your disk files.
5import os
6for root, dirs, files in os.walk(top, topdown=False):
7    for name in files:
8        os.remove(os.path.join(root, name))
9    for name in dirs:
10        os.rmdir(os.path.join(root, name))

1The OS module in Python provides a way of using operating system dependent
2functionality.

4The functions that the OS module provides allows you to interface with the
5underlying operating system that Python is running on – be that Windows, Mac or
6Linux.

8You can find important information about your location or about the process.

10In this post I will show some of these functions.

1# Import the built-in os module
2import os
3# os.system() function
4os.system('echo Hello world!')

1>>> import os
2>>> os.getcwd()      # Return the current working directory
3'C:\\Python39'
4>>> os.chdir('/server/accesslogs')   # Change current working directory
5>>> os.system('mkdir today')   # Run the command mkdir in the system shell
