[Pythonmac-SIG] mac.chdir ?

[Steven D. Majewski]

I would love it if we could find a place in the standard library
for a function that does the following one liner:

os.chdir( macfs.GetDirectory()[0].as_pathname() )

Only problem: I don't know where it should go. macfs seems the
logical place, however, it's a builtin, not a .py file module. 


Alternatively: maybe a better way of linking the "current directory" 
returned by os.getcwd() and used by other Python file functions with
the "magic" placeholder use by the Mac standard file dialogs.  

( If there's any interest in the latter solution, I'll look up 
  what we changed in XlispStat to make it track better. However,
  that only works if the Mac Control Panel is set to "Take me to 
  folder set by the application" )
