Yes, I came across this page, but didn't understand what is meant by the operating system dependent functionality. What does that mean? Is importing that module that serious? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I came across this page, = but didn't understand what is meant by the operating system dependent f= unctionality. What does that mean? Is importing that module that serious?
Thanks.

If it's something you import, what you want is the module of tha= t
name. Searching the web for 'python os module' should bring you
straight to one of these:

htt= ps://docs.python.org/2/library/os.html
htt= ps://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html

(Use the first link for Python 2.x, the second link for 3.x. The
module has the same purpose in both.)
