You could answer that yourself with two seconds experimentation at the
interactive prompt.
py> os.getcwd()
'/home/steve'
py> os.curdir
'.'
For more information, you can try reading the Fine Manual:
http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.getcwd
http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.curdir
In case it isn't obvious: no, they are completely different. os.getcwd is
a function which returns the path of the current working directory.
os.curdir is a string which the operating system will understand to mean
"this directory".
