Current working directory: C:\Users\Rajnish\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37
Example #2 :
Using os.getcwd() method to get current working directory of Lazyroar which is root
# Python program to explain os.getcwd() method # importing os module import os # Get the current working # directory (CWD) cwd = os.getcwd() # Print the current working # directory (CWD) # which is root in this caseprint("Current working directory:", cwd) |
