There's a misunderstanding here. You are confusing 'os.getcwd()' and 'os.curdir'.
The default value for the parameter of 'os.listdir()' should probably be 'os.curdir', but since it is defined in the different platform-specific OS modules like posixmodule.c, it probably is 'os.curdir'. Moreover, I'm not aware of a platform where os.curdir != '.'
