I am specifying a relative file path using jacaro's path module.
How can I get the absolute path from this variable as a string?
import path # From path = path.path('~/folder/') relative_filename = path.joinpath('foo') # how can I get the absolute path of as a string? absolute_path = ??? fd = open(absolute_path) 31 Answer
filename has a method called abspath that returns an object with the absolute path. You can cast that to a string.
... folder_path = path('~/folder/') filename = path.joinpath('foo') f = sftp.open(str(filename), 'r') 2
