constructing absolute path with os.path.join()
Using os.sep as root worked for me: path.join(os.sep, ‘python’, ‘bin’) Linux: /python/bin Windows: \python\bin Adding path.abspath() to the mix will give you drive letters on Windows as well and is still compatible with Linux: path.abspath(path.join(os.sep, ‘python’, ‘bin’)) Linux: /python/bin Windows: C:\python\bin
