Python changing directory without path

Question

I would like to change the current work directory to the desktop without using os.chdir(path) since i want to use this code on different computer so the path will be different

Answer 1

To get the desktop location you can use os.path.expanduser("~/Desktop"). This should work both in Windows and Linux, regardless of actual directories where the desktop is kept. To change directory to the current desktop you should do something like this:

os.chdir(os.path.expanduser("~/Desktop"))
