AttributeError: module 'os' has no attribute 'chroot'

Below is my very basic code running in spyder & python is choking, what am I doing wrong?

import csv,os,sys
path = os.getcwd()
print (path)
os.chroot(path)

I get following error message:

  os.chroot(path)

AttributeError: module 'os' has no attribute 'chroot'

Did you name your file os.py? If you did, it is shadowing the stdlib os module. Change the name of your file and delete os.pyc or __pycache__.

Do print os or similar inside the script to see the file path Python is using to get the os module.

I have checked your code, and there is no any ERROR but i see this message: PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/home/beenj/Documents' means we must run python3 with sudo ==> sudo python3 then enter above code... or run compiled Python application (after completing ) in SuperUserDO (sudo)

One possibility is that your operating system is Microsoft Windows, for which os.chroot() is not available.
