How do I identify the root of the operating system (windows: "C: \", in linux: "/"), exclusively through python commands that apply to both systems?

Use the commands below: 

>>> import os
>>> os.path.abspath(os.sep)
'/'

Results would be:

  • Linux returns "/"
  • Windows returns "C: \\" (or whatever the current disk is)

I got the solution, gentlemen. 

os.path.commonpath(os.get_exec_path())

The combination of the above commands will always display the operating system root (OS) for any OS.
