Testing on Python 2.7.12 on through Windows 10 bash (so Linux), I find an
inconsistency with the documented statement "If a component is an absolute
path, all previous components are thrown away and joining continues from the
absolute path component"
>>> os.path.join('dir', 'C:/dir2')
'dir/C:/dir2'
To me, the is very similar to the original problem (Windows 10 Python 2.7.13
and 3.6.1):
>>> os.path.join('dir1', '/dir2')
'/dir2'
I would argue that on Windows, '/dir2' is not an absolute path. Testing from
cmd and powershell on Windows 10 from `C:`
>>> cd /dir2
C:/dir2
I do agree though that is a terrible idea to not respect the second parameter
in:
os.path.join(absolute_path_or_local_path, absolute_path)
I think the question is what is considered an absolute path and does that
change depending on the OS?
