Python: how to retrieve the current directory?

Hi,

How can I find the current directory from within a Python script?
I can run an AmigaDOS script that writes it into a file and read the file in Python but it's not so nice. Any better alternative?

Thanks

Ok, found it thanks to Google and this file: http://www.python.org/download/releas ... .4/python1.4-amiga.README
You can use os.getcwd()

Scrolling dowen through the quite large help file will get you what you want.

I might be then worth checking the function at the command line prompt, to make sure it works in AmigaOS (this does ofcourse).

Also bear in mind that if you are writing an amiga specific script you may use "CURRDIR:"

eg


>>> f = open("CURRDIR:test","w")
>>> f.write("test")
>>> f.close()
