You could answer that yourself with two seconds experimentation at the

interactive prompt.
py> os.getcwd()
'/home/steve'
py> os.curdir
'.'
For more information, you can try reading the Fine Manual:
http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.getcwd
http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.curdir
In case it isn't obvious: no, they are completely different. os.getcwd is
a function which returns the path of the current working directory.
os.curdir is a string which the operating system will understand to mean
"this directory".

>>> import os
>>> os.getcwd()
'/home/tjol'
>>> os.curdir
'.'
>>>
No.
Both refer to the current directory, but os.curdir is not an absolute
path, so you can't chdir() to it later and expect to land it the
original directory.
