Python 3 Programming Tutorial - OS Module

In this video, we cover the OS module with Python 3. The main purpose of the OS module is to interact with your operating system. The primary use I find for it is to create folders, remove folders, move folders, and sometimes change the working directory.

While watching this I took it upon myself to make a infinite loop that endlessly created folders. I got to over 250, 000 in like 10 seconds.. I have a lot of regret.

Love the tutorials btw keep it up!

but did not give up and pushed hard thanks to Sentdex and other youtube videos.
Thank you sentdex, you kept the flame on!

I know this comment is super late but I am creating a program using this to make a template folder for a web project, so it will have a named folder of the users choice, they can name the HTML and CSS file and it will create them and store them in the correct folders along with folders for other necessitates such as images and Javascript code. My question is how do I change the target directory so that it doesn't create the template folder in the same directory as the program?

Love this series btw so happy I found your channel

hi, im trying to copy data (grades of the students for a certain subjects) from excel file to another program (i dont know what code it was built on, and its a program specifically made for inventory of grades ). We are using that program to encode grades, change, grades, submit grades, etc. What i want to do is lessen this execution (alt +tab, enter grades, enter, doing this all over again) that all we have to do whenever we copy grades from an excel file to that program. I want it to have a one time click and boom all the grades for all weeks, and two exams of each student for many subjects, to be instantly copied to that program. Im learning python to solve this problem. I hope ill get some help guys. [for the students :)]

harrison, for some reason when i run os.getcwd() when I have anaconda open it runs properly and tells me where the file is. but when i want to double click it and my editor is not open it throws a error saying that i don't have permissions. and it's because the os.getcwd() is not returning the correct path it is actually returning somethings like: C:\Windows\system32
Do you know how i can fix this? thank you.

[tymothylim]

Thank you for this video! It was a great tutorial to get familiar with the basics of os!

It's August 15, 2022 5:49 pm est. Wondering why you keep your desktop icons in a folder instead of hiding them.

Hey sentdex!!!, Thanks for the short tutorial. I need to know which software you are using to Python scripts. And is there any way to import a file into some other applications like Maya. Please let me know

So, what if the directory you want to delete via 'rmdir' has items in it. How do you go about deleting that directory and all of its sub folders and items? Have an example for that???

[ritesh]

why we import OS first I need to it and is it really necessary.Apart from create folders, remove folders, move folders, and sometimes change the working directory what is the use

[prasadg]

os.startfile() does not work on Mac OSX what should I do instead?

[Captain.Mystic]

I am looking in the help file for the module and i found a command called abort()... It says that it Aborts the interpreter immediately and 'Dumps core' or otherwise fails in the hardest way possible on the hosting OS. Im scared given that i have a feeling this means it takes your CPU to the blue screen of death. Please tell me im worng.

Can you make videos where you do more indepth coding? Like intermediate level challenges? I would love to see those :) You explain things so well.
