Why does the code behave like this?

Question

Python

Good afternoon, the problem is this.
Import module os. I create a class, with a class constructor, it has the following.

class SG():
    def __init__(self):
        self.local_drive = os.environ['systemdrive']

Next, I go to the folder os.chdir('C:/Dir1'), copy the files into it through shutil.copy, and then, let's say, I need to delete this folder. If you do this right away, it gives an error, it's understandable, we kind of keep the folder open. I am executing the code os.chdir(self.local_drive). I try to delete the folder again, again the same error, if you look at the path with os.getcwd(), it shows C:/Dir1. However, if you go not to the root of the disk, but, say, to a folder with Windows (I'm on Windows), then everything is deleted normally. Why is this happening?

Answer 1

And because Windows! It does not change the directory if only a drive selection occurs.
Call cmd and do the following:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
(c) Корпорация Майкрософт (Microsoft Corp.), 2009. Все права защищены.
C:\Users\leah>cd C:
C:\Users\leah
C:\Users\leah>cd C:\
C:\>

Accordingly, you just need to add "\" to local_drive
os.chdir(self.local_drive+os.sep)
