import os
os.getcwd() 获取当前工作目录，即当前python脚本工作的目录路径
os.chdir("dirname")  改变当前脚本工作目录；相当于shell下cd
os.curdir  返回当前目录: (‘.‘)
os.pardir  获取当前目录的父目录字符串名：(‘..‘)
os.makedirs(‘dirname1/dirname2‘)    可生成多层递归目录
os.removedirs(‘dirname1‘)    若目录为空，则删除，并递归到上一级目录，如若也为空，则删除，依此类推
os.mkdir(‘dirname‘)    生成单级目录；相当于shell中mkdir dirname
os.rmdir(‘dirname‘)    删除单级空目录，若目录不为空则无法删除，报错；相当于shell中rmdir dirname
os.listdir(‘dirname‘)    列出指定目录下的所有文件和子目录，包括隐藏文件，并以列表方式打印
os.remove()  删除一个文件
os.rename("oldname","newname")  重命名文件/目录
os.stat(‘path/filename‘)  获取文件/目录信息

os.path.dirname(path)  返回path的目录。其实就是os.path.split(path)的第一个元素
os.path.basename(path)  返回path最后的文件名。如何path以／或\结尾，那么就会返回空值。即os.path.split(path)的第二个元素

os.path.isabs(path)  如果path是绝对路径，返回True
os.path.isfile(path)  如果path是一个存在的文件，返回True。否则返回False
os.path.isdir(path)  如果path是一个存在的目录，则返回True。否则返回False

os.path.getatime(path)  返回path所指向的文件或者目录的最后存取时间
os.path.getmtime(path)  返回path所指向的文件或者目录的最后修改时间

sys.argv           命令行参数List，第一个元素是程序本身路径
