| I would like to write a program which creates the folders in specific
| directory.
| For example, I want to create folder in Program Files. How do
| I know which
| is in C:\ or D:\
| Is there any function to get the active path?
It's not quite clear what you mean. You seem to be asking three
possibly distinct questions:
1) How do I create folders in a particular directory.
A. Look at os.mkdir or os.makedirs
2) How do I know where the "Program Files" folder is?
A. Look at the shell module of the pywin32 extensions.
Specifically, you're looking for the shell.SHGetPathFromIDList
and shell.SHGetSpecialFolderLocation functions.
3) How do I know what the active path is?
A. Look at os.getcwd
I know I haven't been too detailed in my answers, but I didn't
want to spend lots of time explaining in case I'd actually
missed the point of the question.
