Look into the os.path module, specifically abspath(path), which:

return[s] a normalized absolutized version of the pathname path.

if i use os.path.abspath("file.txt") I got only D:\\file.txt. not full path
At that point you're passing a string to abspath and it's building the path based on your current working directory (presumably D:\`). You need to either run the code in the same directory as file.txt` or be more specific in your relative path.
