R. David Murray added the comment:

The function is chdir, not cd.  The 'cd' man page says that 'cd -P' should 
"perform actions equivalent to the chdir() function".

So, you are asking for a different function, which should *not* be named 
'os.chdir'.  You'll have to make a case for it being useful enough to add.

The same applies to getcwd, which is also a wrapper for the posix function, not 
an emulation of the shell's pwd.
