How to get the complete path of directory in python? [duplicate]

Question

I have directory '/batchjobs/files/'. I want to know the complete path of it.

I think this is what you are after: How to get an absolute file path in Python. Short answer: os.path.abspath('/batchjobs/files/') — JNevill

@JNevill I am looking for directory complete path, not a file's. — Ravi Ranjan

If you check on that duplicate link you will find lots of options, which is why I linked it. Perhaps the very top answer that is showing: os.path.join( os.getcwd(), 'batchjobs/files/' ) would do the trick? There's likely lots of ways to solve this and most of them are listed out as optional answers there. — JNevill

/batchjobs/files is already an absolute path -- / is the root directory. It would be a relative path if it was ./batchjobs/files or batchjobs/files — pho

You can use the pathlib library.

import pathlib
print(pathlib.Path('/batchjobs/files/').absolute())

Thanks for the response @Dennis, but it returns /batchjobs only. I need to get the complete path of /batchjobs/files/. which will be something like /A/B/C/batchjobs/files/
