Complete Python Scripting for Automation - Simple exception handling to changing current working directory

This video tutorial explains how to change the current working directory in Python using the OS module. It covers handling common exceptions like 'Not a Directory Error', 'File Not Found Error', and 'Permission Error'. The tutorial demonstrates writing a Python script to change directories, including error handling with try-except blocks. It also shows how to structure the script using functions for better code organization.
