# The os.path module has several functions for manipulating files and directories.
# Here, we'll look at handling pathnames and listing the contents of a directory.
import os
print os.path.join("c:\\yourfolder\\", "yourfile.txt")
print os.path.join("c:\\yourfolder", "yourfile.txt")

print os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~"), "Python")
# os.path is a reference to a module-which module depends on your platform. Just
# as getpass encapsulates differences between platforms by setting getpass to a
# platform-specific function, os encapsulates differences between platforms by
# setting path to a platform-specific module.
