[issue11378] os.path.join when second argument starts with '/' (linux/unix)

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amauryfa at gmail.com> added the comment:

And the current behaviour is useful; for example, the absolute path of a file name can be computed with os.path.join(os.getcwd(), filename).
This works with both absolute and relative paths.

os.path.join() won't change; you probably should consider another function, like os.path.normpath(a + '/' + b)
