Getting absolute path of directory

How do I get the absolute path of a directory (it has to be any directory, not the current one!) in Python?

I tried with os.path.listdir() but it yields only the relative one. Thanks!

Using os.path.abspath:

In [259]: for fname in os.listdir('.'):
     ...:     print os.path.abspath(fname)
     ...:     
D:\Documents\Desktop\t\old-linear
D:\Documents\Desktop\t\ZC_a0_3.xml

If you're trying to pass a path to os.listdir, then use os.path.join:

In [266]: path=r'D:\Documents\Desktop\ttt'
     ...: for fname in os.listdir(path):
     ...:     print os.path.join(path, fname)

D:\Documents\Desktop\ttt\old-linear
D:\Documents\Desktop\ttt\t6916A_a0_0.xml
D:\Documents\Desktop\ttt\t6916A_a0_1.xml
