I don't understand it either, but it works as I showed on both Linux and 
Windows.  Sure makes for simple code!  These commands have worked this way 
for a long time (years).  A great undocumented feature!

You can even copy the path of a selected node to the clipboard, which is 
sometimes useful:

import os, pyperclip
pyperclip.copy(os.getcwd()) # works on both Windows and Linux

*pyperclip* gives access to the system clipboard. You can install it using 
pip.
