chdir

I want to start an interactive console in pydev from project directory, in order to import an app. I tried to use os.chdir at startup from Window->Preferences->PyDev->Interactive Console->Initial interpreter commands. I read https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/ searching for an entry to set path but I didn't find anything. Thanks Edit: I had to import module first in order to import app Strange, I must say that after changing the initial interpreter commands to be: import sys; print('%s %s' % (sys.executable or sys.platform, sys.version)) import os;os.chdir('c:\\') Later doing

I'm trying to change the current directory from C: to Y: I tried: import os os.chdir('Y:') but I keep getting an error saying that it can't locate the drive. Essentially I'm looking for the equivalent of the cd /d command in cmd. Are you sure Y: really is a valid drive letter? Try os.chdir('C:') and make sure that works. (It works for me.) If this is a mapped network drive, your best bet is to use the UNC path instead of the mapped path. Also, try to use a raw r string modifier when using paths under windows, if you're not using os.path.join . import os print os.getcwd() os.chdir(r'\\server

I have following code: os.chdir(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)) + "/../test") path.append(os.getcwd()) os.chdir(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))) Which should add /../test to python path, and it does so, and it all runs smoothly afterwards on eclipse using PyDev. But when I lunch same app from console second os.chdir does something wrong, actually the wrong thing is in os.path.realpath(__file__) cus it returns ../test/myFile.py in stead of ../originalFolder/myFile.py . Of course I can fix this by using fixed os.chdir("../originalFolder") but that seems a bit wrong to me,

I have a question, here is my original code in the testchdir.c file: #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(int argc,char **argv) { if (argc < 2) { printf("Usage: %s <pathname\n",argv[0]); exit(1); } if (chdir(argv[1]) == 0) { printf("success in chdir\n"); return 0; } else { printf("error happened"); exit(1); } } In my Linux system, my original path is /home/Tom3543 , then when I compile my codes above using gcc -o testchdir testchdir.c , it looks good. Later on, I want to change my path and execute the program, so I type ./testchdir /home/tom3543/C++ "success in

I am using chdir() to change directory to the value passed as an argument to this function. I understand that when I run my C program using gcc myCd.c and ./a.out .. this changes the directory to the parent directory "within" the C program (i.e. a child process is spawned for the a.out process, and the change of directory happens within that child process). What I want to do is, change the directory at the terminal using this C program. I tried writing a shell script for the same, and then sourcing it, and running, that works, but I wanted to achieve this using C. What you are attempting to do
