Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
Posted today on python-ideas with the mistaken title "os.path.argparse -
optional startdir argument" by Wolfgang Maier (wolma). (He corrected in a
second post, but too late.) Juancarlo Añez pointed to pathlib.Path.resolve as
a better alternative. Path joins and resolve combines the functions of
os.path.abspath and os.path.normpath with a nicer syntax, and with OS awareness.
>>> p.Path('../../../Python27/lib', 'ast.py').resolve()
WindowsPath('C:/Programs/Python27/Lib/ast.py')
If one starts with a base Path, one can use '/' to join.
>>> base = p.Path('.')
>>> (base / '../../../Python27/lib' / 'ast.py').resolve()
WindowsPath('C:/Programs/Python27/Lib/ast.py')
In light of the above, I agree with Serhiy that this issue should be closed
unless there is a surge of approval for the proposal.
