Is it possible to change the Windows command prompt working directory via Python script?

e.g.

```
>> cd
>> c:\windows\system32
>> make_decision_change_dir.py
>> cd
>> c:\windows

```

I have tried a few things which don't work:

```
import os
os.chdir(path)

```

---

```
import os, subprocess
subprocess.Popen("chdir /D \"%s\"" %path, shell=True)

```

---

```
import os, subprocess
subprocess.Popen("cd \"%s\"" %path, shell=True)

```

---

```
import os, subprocess
subprocess.Popen("CD=\"%s\"" %path, shell=True)

```

As I understand it and observe these operations change the current processes working directory - which is the Python process and not the prompt its executing from.

Thanks.

UPDATE

The path I would want to change to is dynamic (based on what project I am working on, the full path to a build location changes) hence I wanted to code a solution in Python rather than hack around with a Windows batch file.

UPDATE

I ended up hacking a batch file together to do this ;(
Thanks everyone.
