abspath(path, case_normalize=False)

Replacement for os.path.abspath with some enhancements and bug fixes.

  1. Non-Unicode paths are converted to Unicode using file system encoding.
  2. Optionally lower-case paths on case-insensitive file systems. That includes Windows and also OSX in default configuration.
  3. Turn c: into c:\ on Windows instead of c:\current\path.

Returns a relative path to target from base.

If base is an existing file, then its parent directory is considered to be the base. Otherwise base is assumed to be a directory.

The returned path is URL encoded. On Windows returns an absolute path with file: prefix if the target is on a different drive.

Replacement for os.path.normpath with some enhancements.

  1. Convert non-Unicode paths to Unicode using the file system encoding.
  2. NFC normalize Unicode paths (affects mainly OSX).
  3. Optionally lower-case paths on case-insensitive file systems. That includes Windows and also OSX in default configuration.
  4. Turn c: into c:\ on Windows instead of keeping it as c:.
