Running a (python) script in another directory [duplicate]

Question

I have a python script, which generates files. All i want is to force it to write the files in a specific folder. Right now i have to do 3 steps:

cd foo
python ../awesome_script.py
cd ..

Is there any nice solution, where i can do this in one line, either using some external command, or directly in the python interpreter?

I am searching for something like:

python -f foo awesome_script.py

or

cd_in_and_out_program foo awesome_script.py

This instruction will be in a makefile afterwards, so it can be ugly.

Answer 1

If the problem is just "one line":

cd foo; python ../awesome_script.py; cd ..

will do
