'cd' is not an external command and has no manpage. It is a shell builtin command.

Most os functions are thin wrappers around system calls. There is no system call that works as 'cd' without '-P'.

If you implement a shell in Python, you perhaps need an implementation of the 'cd' command. But I have doubts that this is needed in the stdlib.
