os.path.join and pathlib are working as designed and documented. Similarly in

>>> print(p)
/folder///filename.bin
>>> print(os.path.normpath(p))

New submission from Roffild :

import pathlib
print(pathlib.PureWindowsPath("C:/123\\345", "\\", "folder///filename.bin"))
Result:
C:\folder///filename.bin
C:\folder\filename.bin
Expected result for Windows:
