Path of a directory using os module

The  os  module of python has various functions to deal with different Operating Systems including path-related operations. In this tutorial, we will focus on the   os.path  module, which provides functionalities to access and manipulate the file system-related paths of directories using Python code. By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to understand and utilize the  os  module to extract, manipulate, and analyze the paths of directories in your Python projects. So, let's get started!

How to get the current working directory in Python

• Import the  os  module.
• Use the  os.getcwd()  function to get the current working directory.
• Code sample : 

import os

current_dir = os.getcwd()
print(current_dir)

How to Join a Path in Python

• Use the  os.path.join()  method to join one or more path components.
• Code sample : 

import os
path = os.path.join("C:", "Users", "username", "Documents")

How to split a path in Python

• Use the  os.path.split()  method to split a path into its components.

import os
path = "C:/Users/username/Documents"

split_path = os.path.split(path)
print(split_path)

How to test if a Path is a Directory

• Use the  os.path.isdir()  method to test if a path is a directory.
• Code sample : 

import os
path = "C:/Users/username/Documents"

is_directory = os.path.isdir(path)

print(is_directory)
