How to change the root directory of the current process in Python?


You can use the os.chroot to change the root directory of the current process to path. This command is only available on Unix systems. You can use it as follows:

>>> import os
>>> os.chroot('/tmp/my_folder')

This changes the root directory of the script running to /tmp/my_folder.
