[Python-ideas] chdir context manager

[Nick Coghlan]

-1 from me

I consider caring about the current directory to be an anti-pattern -
paths should be converted to absolute ASAP, and for invocation of
other tools that care about the current directory, that's why the
subprocess APIs accept a "cwd" argument. I certainly don't want to
encourage people to unnecessarily rely on global state by providing a
standard library context manager that makes it easier to do so.

Regards,
Nick.
