Python 3.2.3 (default, May  3 2012, 15:51:42)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> os.getcwd()
'/home/tjol'
>>> os.curdir
'.'

No.


Both refer to the current directory, but os.curdir is not an absolute
path, so you can't chdir() to it later and expect to land it the
original directory.
