Do you want to change the working dir in the parent process (the shell) from within your program? That's (generally) not possible. – Nov 03 '18 at 10:15

cd is a built-in command and cannot be run by an external program, so you must use your shell:
alias a='cd abc/def'
If you want this to be permanent, put it in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc depending on your shell.

You can just use aliases in linux it does exactly what you want. Other option is to create alias that points to the python script, but i see no point using python when you have it integrated in linux.
