Be careful about changing the working directory from *within* Python. While 
you can do so, and in the hands of somebody who knows what they're doing it is 
perfectly fine, there are some pitfalls to avoid and you should consider it an 
advanced technique.

But reading the WD with os.getcdd() is perfectly fine.
