how to show current directory in ipython prompt

Question

Is there is way to show the current directory in IPython prompt?

Instead of this: In [1]:  Something like this: In<~/user/src/proj1>[1]: 

Answer 1

You can use os.getcwd(current working directory) or in the native os command pwd.

In [8]: import os  In [9]: os.getcwd() Out[9]: '/home/rockwool'  In [10]: pwd Out[10]: '/home/rockwool' 

Answer 2

Using ! before pwd will show the current directory

In[1]: !pwd /User/home/ 

When interactive computing it is common to need to access the underlying shell. This is doable through the use of the exclamation mark ! (or bang) To execute a command when present in beginning of line.
