2. What does "/" , "./", "../" represent while giving path?

   superuser.com/questions/153165

   18. Let's be precise: "/"is a path which begins with a /, and thus it is an absolute path. Thus, we need to begin in the root of the file system and navigate through the folders given by name, whereas the names are separated by /s (because this is the unix path separator). Thus, / is the root of the file system with no folders entered after ...

   10. A URL, standardized in RFC 1738, always uses forward slashes, regardless of platform. A file path and a URI are different. \ is correct in a Windows file path and / is correct in a URI. Several browsers (namely, Firefox & Opera) fail catastrophically when encountering URIs with backslashes.

5. How do I get the full path of the current file's directory?

   stackoverflow.com/questions/3430372

   112. In Python 3.x I do: from pathlib import Path. path = Path(__file__).parent.absolute() Explanation: Path(__file__) is the path to the current file. .parent gives you the directory the file is in. .absolute() gives you the full absolute path to it.

7. How should I write a Windows path in a Python string literal?

   stackoverflow.com/questions/2953834

   However, the best practice is to use the os.path module functions that always joins with the correct path separator (os.path.sep) for your OS: os.path.join(mydir, myfile) From python 3.4 you can also use the pathlib module. This is equivalent to the above: pathlib.Path(mydir, myfile) or: pathlib.Path(mydir) / myfile.

8. What does \\\\?\\ mean when prepended to a file path

   stackoverflow.com/questions/21194530

   The documented purpose of the \\?\ prefix is: For file I/O, the "\\?\" prefix to a path string tells the Windows APIs to disable all string parsing and to send the string that follows it straight to the file system. Among other things, this allows using otherwise reserved symbols in path names (such as . or ..).

Join the list items, and addition the relative path's file: path = "/".join(script_directory) + "/" + rel_path.

10. What is the difference between \\ and \\\\ in file path

    stackoverflow.com/questions/15969608

    Windows ignores double backslashes. So while the second syntax with \ is correct and you should use that one, the first with \\ works too. The only exception is double-backslash at the very beginning of a path that indicates a UNC path. See Universal Naming Convention. Though note that in many programming languages like C, C++, Java, C#, Python ...
