There are a ton of ways to do this, and none of the common ones involve
python at all.

The wording "have my pi change to a directory" doesn't match how it
works... each new shell is a new context, so you need to set things upon
entering that context - namely after ssh establishes the connection and
the Pi launches a login shell in response.

Examples:

On the Pi, in your .bashrc, stick a cd command at the end
On the Pi, in your .bashrc define a short alias for the cd you want, so
what you type is very short
On the Pi, set the home directory of the account you are going to ssh
into to be the directory
On your host end, feed a command to ssh that includes doing something at
the other end, along this model:

    ssh -t dj at pi 'cd /some/path && exec bash -l'
