Question

I am creating a sort of “Command line” in Python. I already added a few functions, such as changing login/password, executing, etc., But is it possible to browse files in the directory that the main file is in with a command/module, or will I have to make the module myself and use the import command? Same thing with changing directories to view, too.

Answer 1

Browsing files is as easy as using the standard os module. If you want to do something with those files, that’s entirely different.

import os
all_files = os.listdir('.') # gets all files in current directory

To change directories you can issue os.chdir('path/to/change/to'). In fact there are plenty of useful functions found in the os module that facilitate the things you’re asking about. Making them pretty and user-friendly, however, is up to you!
