How to get absolute path of a pathlib.Path object?

Question

Making a path object with pathlib module like:

p = pathlib.Path(\'file.txt\')

The p object will point to some file in

Answer 1

pathlib.Path.cwd() / p

This is recommended by CPython core developers as the "one obvious way".

p.resolve() does not return an absolute path for non-existing files on Windows at least.

p.absolute() is undocumented.
