Get current working directory from Vte (GTK Terminal Widget) in Python

Question

Hey, How can I get the current working directory of a VTE widget in Python? Thanks.

Answer 1

Borrowing from Mark, a slightly more elegant approach:

import vte
import os
v = vte.Terminal()
vPid = v.fork_command()
workingDir = os.readlink('/proc/%s/cwd' % vPid)
