import os os.chdir("newdirectory") But the more important question is why you want to. Inside a Python program, many people find that changing directory causes unexpected difficulties, and they simply keep track of a full path instead, using various os.path functions to manage it. And once the python program ends, the shell should have no knowledge of what you changed it to. Now, a particular shell program might have some convention that allows a program to inform it what directory to continue in. But that's a question about that shell, not about Python. And you never said what your environment is. So give some more specifics to your needs, and somebody is likely to know an approach. -- DaveA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
