Answer 1

listdir produces the file names in a directory, with no reference to the name of the directory itself. Without any other information, abspath can only form an absolute path from the only directory it can know about: the current working directory. You can always change the working directory before your loop:

os.chdir(directory)
for f in os.listdir('.'):
    print(os.path.abspath(f))
