How to change directory with Subprocess in Python?
To change directory with Subprocess in Python, we use the os.chdir method.
For instance, we write
import os
wd = os.getcwd()
os.chdir("/")
subprocess.Popen("ls")
os.chdir(wd)
to call os.chir to change the directory to /.
Then we call Popen with 'ls' to run the ls command on /.
Then we go back to the current working directory with
os.chdir(wd)
where wd is the current working directory path that we get with getcwd.
