Strictly speaking "/" refers to same location regardless of the current working directory (CWD) on Windows. It's only relative with respect of the current drive, which Windows considers something different than the current working directory. On the other hand Python on Window does for the most part hide this, treating the current drive as being part of current working directory, so it's strange the isabs() behaves differently.
