The working directory for the console (i.e. conhost.exe) is irrelevant
to Python. So I assume you mean the default working directory of the
Python shell (i.e. the REPL). There isn't one. It's set by or
inherited from the parent process.

For interactive work, set the PYTHONSTARTUP environment variable to
the fully-qualified path of a startup script. Set the working
directory in this script via os.chdir("fully/qualified/path").

For a script, the working directory should not be used to find private
resources. Use the script/package directory for read-only resources
and otherwise use a platform-dependent data directory (e.g. on Windows
use a subdirectory of %LocalAppData% or %ProgramData%).
