 Or in python there's os.path.join:

Linux:
>>> import os
>>> os.path.join("foo","bar")
'foo/bar'

Windows:
>>> os.path.join("foo","bar")
'foo\\bar'

VAX/VMS:
>>> os.path.join("foo","bar")
'foo.bar'

 (I made that last one up, but VAX/VMS paths used to be of the form
device:[dir.dir] if I recall correctly!)

Various other functions under os.path are useful for filename and path
manipulation.
