How to change directorys inside a python script/batch file (DOS)

[gpbajaj]

Hi I was wondering if anybody knows how to change directories within a python/script file from DOS
I have Windows XP, but prefer running from DOS


So i would executre like this
python filebelow.py

*************** *************** *************** ********
[CODE=python]
import urllib
import os

def saveUrlToFile( url, fileName ):



f = open( fileName, 'wb' )
data = urllib.urlopen( url).read()
f.write( data )
f.close()

saveUrlToFile(

'www.google.ca' ,
'googlepage.txt ' )
[/CODE]
Here is where I want to change to another directory, for example
cd\
cd newdirectory

[CODE=python]
saveUrlToFile(

'www.hotmail.ca ',
'hotmailpage.tx t' )[CODE]

check the os module for chdir(). This is the method you use for changing directories from within Python

You can also give the file name an explicit path:[code=Python]
saveUrlToFile(' www.hotmail.ca' ,'C:\\newdirect ory\\hotmailpag e.txt')[/code]
