Paul Moore added the comment: This is as documented - see https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/os.path.html#os.path.join (" If a component is an absolute path, all previous components are thrown away and joining continues from the absolute path component"). In this case, "/dir2" is an absolute path as it starts with a slash.
