Josh Rosenberg added the comment:
That's because os.system is executing the command in a shell (which expands ~).
Without shell support, ~ doesn't mean anything unless used with the APIs that
specifically support it (e.g. os.path.expanduser).
You wanted os.path.exists(os.path.expanduser('~/.zshrc'))
This is not a bug.
