Eryk Sun <[email protected]> added the comment:
os.path.join and pathlib are working as designed and documented. Similarly in
POSIX we have the following:
>>> p = os.path.join("/123/345", "/", "folder///filename.bin")
>>> print(p)
/folder///filename.bin
>>> print(os.path.normpath(p))
/folder/filename.bin
The difference is that in Windows there's no root ("/") filesystem, but instead
a set of DOS devices (e.g. "C:", "CON:") and UNC shares (e.g.
r"\\server\share"), so the Windows implementation of join() uses the drive from
the already-joined components in order to resolve a rooted component.
