I wouldn't.  I've seen too many flaky problems to trust os.chdir
 in real code.  I think the op should build each filename with
 os.path.append or similar. All paths used for actual file
 operations should either be absolute,  or strictly relative to
 the user's cwd when the script started.  And even the latter is
 suspect when you're anywhere near Windows.
