    import os
    dir_name = "new_dir"
    os.mkdir(dir_name)
    os.chdir(dir_name)
    print("THE cwd now is in " + os.getcwd())
    os.rmdir("../"+dir_name)
    print(dir_name+" deleted")
    print("Checking CWD")
    print("THE script now is in " + os.getcwd())

the getcwd returns error instead of checking the current working directory can someone point me to the reason for that as documentation or just tell me why

the output

    You make a folder, go into the folder, then delete the folder. This behaves as expected - `os.getcwd` can't give you the current directory because you've just deleted it. – shayaan Feb 17 '21 at 23:04

You were in a particular directory, then deleted it out from under yourself, leaving yourself with a "working directory" that doesn't exist. Don't do that. Leave the directory before deleting it, or weird stuff will happen in cases like this.
