The start path is assumed to be a directory, which defaults to the current working directory, and the input paths are first resolved as absolute paths. In order to reach src_path from vcx_path, one has to traverse 3 levels up to the root directory. https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html#os.path.relpath -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
