change to home directory

[Skaperen]

what is the "best", most pythonic, way to change to the home directory so that all file operations are now relative to the home directory and any program that get run by any means will see the current working directory and the HOME environment variable referring to the current working directory.  this is not trying to change the working directory of the shell.

Regular way:

os.chdir(os.path.expanduser('~'))

Or more abstract with pathlib:

home_directory = pathlib.Path.home() os.chdir(home_directory)

that's what i was going to use.  but i was wondering if there was something better like maybe sys.ch_home().
