Example
The following example shows the usage of rmdir() method.
# !/usr/bin/python
import os, sys
# listing directories
print "the dir is: %s" %os.listdir(os.getcwd())
# removing path
os.rmdir("mydir")
# listing directories after removing directory path
print "the dir is:" %os.listdir(os.getcwd())
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result:
the dir is:
[ 'a1.txt','resume.doc','a3.py','mydir','Administrator','amrood.admin' ]
os.rmdir("mydir")
OSError: [Errno 90] Directory not empty: 'mydir'

following result:
the dir is:
[ 'a1.txt','resume.doc','a3.py','mydir','Administrator','amrood.admin' ]
the dir is:
[ 'a1.txt','resume.doc','a3.py','Administrator','amrood.admin' ]
