>>> os.getcwd()

12.2.3 Accessing directories with pathlib

12.2.4 Manipulating pathnames

>>> import os

bin/utils/disktools


>>> import os
>>> print(os.path.join('mydir\\bin', 'utils\\disktools\\chkdisk'))
mydir\bin\utils\disktools\chkdisk


>>> path1 = os.path.join('mydir', 'bin'); 
>>> path2 = os.path.join('utils', 'disktools', 'chkdisk')
>>> print(os.path.join(path1, path2))
mydir\bin\utils\disktools\chkdisk


>>> import os
>>> os.path.basename(os.path.join('some', 'directory', 'path.jpg'))

12.5 Processing all files in a directory tree

import os
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(os.curdir):
