The above code is buggy. It doesn't work as expected on a classic Mac.
Hint: import macpath; print macpath.normpath('/')
Besides, there is no need to use the 20 lb sledgehammer of regular
expressions to crack the tiny little peanut of replacing a simple
character with another simple character.
The above function is much more sensibly written as:
def convertPath(path):
separator = os.path.sep
if sep != '/':
path = path.replace(os.path.sep, '/')
return path
Or even more simply:
return path.replace(os.path.sep, '/')
(although that may do a small amount of unnecessary work on Unix systems).
