Yes using os.path.join is better because it joins them with the OS-specific separator.

'/relative/path...' is not a relative path. Is that intentional?

This answer is now outdated, as the top answer has been edited to use a proper relative path in os.path.join(). What is left is the preference to use separate strings for each path element over hardcoding the path separator.

@MartijnPieters Yes, the top answer has been edited to match this in part, but the separate strings is not a preference - separating the stings like this makes it os-independent.
