Assume these variables are supplied:
base_path = "C:\\Python34\\myscript\\"
filename = "sassykitten.jpg"
This won't work:
path = os.path.join(base_path, "/images", filename)The variable path will now contain:
"C:/images\\sassykitten.jpg"
This is due to the slash in /images, which will make the rest of the join start at root. You can join any number of strings, but they should not include slashes.
Do this instead:
path = os.path.join(base_path, "images", filename)You will get the desired:
"C:\\Python34\\myscript\\images\\sassykitten.jpg"
