.. function:: normpath(path)
Normalize a pathname. This collapses redundant separators and up-level
references so that ``A//B``, ``A/B/``, ``A/./B`` and ``A/foo/../B`` all become
``A/B``.
It does not normalize the case (use :func:`normcase` for that). On Windows, it
converts forward slashes to backward slashes. It should be understood that this
may change the meaning of the path if it contains symbolic links!
