[Pythonmac-SIG] Current Working Directory in PyObjC

[Stephen Mitchell]

How does one get the current working directory in a double-clickable os 
X app?

I've tried the standard methods:
currDir = os.getcwd()
currDir = os.popen('pwd').readlines()[0]

and while these all may work when built through xCode, when you try to 
open the double-clickable application from the Finder, these return '/' 
and '\n' respectively.  Any ideas or workarounds?
