If you're refering to the C drive, it's not going to
be at all cross-platform at all, considering that
practically all modern OS's except for Windows use an
everything-is-a-file paradigm. The only way to be
truely cross-platform is to use relative paths or some
library that does different things for different
platforms manually.

Python lets you use unix-style paths on all platforms
anyway, so you don't really need to use os.path.join
at all.
