In my workingdirectory I have many folders with a python script modifying data in the same folder. When running Python in VsCode I need to give a relative path from the working directory into the folder. For example using os.getcwd(), test.py is in D:\Workingdirectory\Folder1: VsCode says, D:\Workingdirectory. Running it in console: D:\Workingdirectory\Folder1. Direct path is not an option. How fo i fix it? Thanks in advance!

This is caused by vscode using workspace as root floder.
This will lead to a problem. When you use the os.getcwd() method in the deep directory of the workspace, you will still get the workspace directory.
You can open your settings and search Python > Terminal: Execute In File Dir then check it.
You can also use debug mode and add the following to your launch.json:
"cwd": "${fileDirname}"

If your external terminal works normally, you can also use it as default in vscode by changing the option [Terminal: Explorer Kind] to external. screenshoot
