What is Directory in Python?

A directory or folder is a collection of files and sub directories. Python has the os module. which provides us with many useful methods to work with directories (and files as well).

C:\Program Files\PyScripter

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

Example:

>>> os.chdir('C:\\Python33')

>>> print(os.getcwd())

Output:

C:\Python33

List Directories and Files

Use method:

>>>listdir()

Example:

>>> os.listdir()

Output:

['DLLs','Doc','include','Lib','libs',... ]

Create New Directory

Use method

>>> os.mkdir('test')

Renaming a Directory or a File

The rename() method can rename a directory or a file.

>>> os.listdir()

Output:

['test']

>>> os.rename('test','new') #rename "test" into "new"

Removing Directory or File

A file can be removed (deleted) using the remove() method.

rmdir() used to remove empty directory.
