Switch between projects in Python

Question

I would like to have all of my Python projects in subfolders under a main 'pydev' folder. When I launch Python, I'm in that 'pydev' top level folder.

\pydev\proj_1
\pydev\proj_2
etc

I'd like to issue a single command to switch to the project folder in question. The best I've found is

import os
os.chdir('proj_1')

Is there a better way to switch to a project's folder? Or is there a better way to manage multiple Python projects?

It's not a good approach, if you change your working directory at run time you may end up in error — Siva Cn

This is an XY problem. What is the ultimate goal you intend to achieve by doing that? — Frédéric Hamidi

I would suggest using eclipse "working sets" since you are using PyDev. You can create a project and assign one or more projects to a working set. You can switch between working sets with one click.
