Now following Peter's immensely useful nudge towards bpy.path.abspath(),
I have learned that Blender uses a special kind of relative path. These
paths start with ”//” . The double slashes replace the path to the blend
file’s directory.
This means that py.path.abspath() gives a path that is absolute for most
of its length then relative towards the end. The good news is that I
have found a way to tidy this.
os.path.abspath(bpy.path.abspath(p))
This gives a fully absolute file path. The bpy.path.abspath function
takes care of the ’//’ replacing it with the full path to the file,
while os.path.abspath takes care of any other unwelcome relative ’../’
that might remain.
Thanks to everyone for their help!
