you have imported os.path you will find it contains a number of functions
to make this task easier*
import os.path
root=os.path.sep
drive='c:'
path= [root,
'automation_common','python',
'TestCases','list_dir_script.txt']
all_tests=os.path.join(drive,*path)
works happily even in linux (the un-necessary drive letter simply gets
stripped)
*easier to maintain cross platform compatibility
