Documentation

cpython/Doc/library/os.path.rst

Lines 59 to 61 in 3a555f0

Return a normalized absolutized version of the pathname *path*. On most
platforms, this is equivalent to calling the function :func:`normpath` as
follows: ``normpath(join(os.getcwd(), path))``.

claim is wrong, because normpath(join(os.getcwd(), path)) is only called when the pathname is not absolute.

If the claim would be true, every absolute pathname would get the cwd prepended.

Cheers,
Chris.
