 .. function:: normpath(path)
 
- Normalize a pathname. This collapses redundant separators and up-level
- references so that ``A//B``, ``A/B/``, ``A/./B`` and ``A/foo/../B`` all become
- ``A/B``.
-
- It does not normalize the case (use :func:`normcase` for that). On Windows, it
- converts forward slashes to backward slashes. It should be understood that this
- may change the meaning of the path if it contains symbolic links!
