2/7     What's the point of having os.getcwd() and os.path.abspath() in
        python? It seems that abspath() does everything getcwd() does and
        more. Is that not true?
        \_ Yes. Probably abspath calls getcwd and getcwd was implemented first.
           Probably just artifacts left over from language development, like
           deprecated crap in Java.
