Change path of rendered images using Python?

Coding Python Support

Hi,

I’m a PhD student and working with my school to set up a render farm for our animation class. We’re wanting to set up a .blend to a predefined standard. Mainly we want to set the output directory of the rendered images to a default location. I was wondering if there is a way to set the output directory for the rendered images using Python? I would like to do this from the command line. If there is a way to do this then I will dig into it a little better and actually learn Python.

Thanks in advance,
James
