Alright well I'm quite a noob and when I run a simple command to change the
current directory, nothing happens. I made a little test script to show it:
import os
cwd = os.getcwd()
print cwd
os.system('cd = C:\Program Files')
print cwd
then the result:
C:\Python24\Python Scripts
C:\Python24\Python Scripts
The cd never changed. . . Can somebody explain this? I think I need to add
something simple, i didnt quite get the example ' os.system('./some
--command') '

Quick and dirty:
import os
os.system('./some --command')
More robust: Use the subprocess module.
