Python, add trailing slash to directory string, os independently

Question

How can I add a trailing slash (/ for *nix, \\ for win32) to a directory string, if the tailing slash is not already there? Thanks!

Answer 1

You can do it manually by:

path = ...

import os
if not path.endswith(os.path.sep):
    path += os.path.sep

However, it is usually much cleaner to use os.path.join.
