If you have / as the prefix, you get two leading slashes, e.g. for //lib/python2.x. Any other prefix would have given you only a single slash: e.g. if it had been /usr, then you end up with /usr/lib/python2.x. Now, the code strips the first character to make it a relative path name (so that join can be used), which fails to work correctly if there are two leading slashes.
