I rejected PR 10117 which adds os.get_current_dir_name(). Copy of my comment: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/10117#issuecomment-529399532 The os module is thin wrappers to functions of the libc or even system calls. We don't implement heuristic using 2 variants of the same feature: there shutil module is there for that. Compare os.get_terminal_size() to shutil.get_terminal_size() for example. I close the PR to add os.get_current_dir_name(): IMHO it's more a feature for the shutil module.
