I looked though the os.path manual. I don't find a function that can
test if a path is in a directory or its sub-directory (recursively).
For example, /a/b/c/d is in /a its sub-directory (recursively). Could
somebody let me know if such function is available somewhere?
Couldn't you just canonicalize the paths using os.path.abspath() and
friends and then do subdirectory.startswith(parent_directory) [as
strings]?
Beware of directories starting with the same letters.
I'd canonicalize, split the strings on os.sep, and compare the resulting
lists up to the shortest one.
